Joe Biden News

President Joe Biden, who used to walk alone across the South Lawn of the White House as he departed and returned to the White House on the Marine One helicopter, is now seen accompanied by aides, Axios noted.

The aides usually walk between Biden and camera positions set up by journalists. According to Axios, the visual effect is to reduce the attention on the president's stiff and shuffling gait.In March, Biden walked five times to and from the helicopter by himself or with members of his family. Since April 16, staff or lawmakers walked with him to and from the helicopter nine out of 10 times.

A March poll by the Harvard Center for American Political Studies found that 63% of respondents said Biden is to old too be president and 57% said he is unfit to serve.Biden frequently uses shorter stairs now while boarding the plane, with a Secret Service agent positioned at the base of the stairs, according to The New York Times.

And Axios said the White House has made an effort to prevent the president from tripping. The outlet said Biden has worn shoes with extra support.
