President Joe Biden was reportedly “visibly shaking” as he got off Air Force One last week and was unable to get into an SUV on his own.
The stunning account was reported by the Daily Mail’s Emily Goodin this week after Biden spoke at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week.
“Walking slowly down the plane’s stairs, he struggled to step up into the SUV waiting to take him to the 8,000-acre Santa Barbara ranch where he and his family have just enjoyed a week-long vacation,” she wrote. “One of his Secret Service agents moved to shield him from the watching cameras, before giving him a helpful boost into the car.”

The report said that Biden had been awake for almost 24 hours at the time of the incident late Tuesday morning, just before sunrise.
She wrote that first lady Jill Biden was “visibly concerned” watching her husband’s physical struggles.
The episode is just the latest in a string of physical struggles—Biden has fallen on numerous occasions since becoming president—and comes on the heels of Biden being forced out of the presidential election by his own party after his disastrous debate performance against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Dr. Tom Pitts, a Democrat who is a quadruple board-certified neurologist based in New York City, told NBC News following the debate that Biden has Parkinson’s disease.

“It’s one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose. I’m a Democrat… This guy is not a hard case,” he said. “Once you start manifesting the hallmark motor symptoms, slow movement, rigidity, masked facies, hypophonia, if a med student did not pick Parkinson’s on the test, they’d be remediated.”
“His motor symptoms are degenerating,” Pitts added. “He has Parkinsonisms. That is a fact. He has degeneration of the brain. Show me the MRI. Show me he doesn’t. Put your money where your mouth is. He definitely has it.”
