His family recently returned from his final vacation as president in St. Croix after nearly five days there. the Biden’s then spent New Year’s Eve at his home in Wilmington, Delaware. He went to Camp David on New Year’s Day.

According to Rosen, the White House is refusing to explain the injuries. Rosen also said the White House cancelled a press briefing that they had on the schedule yesterday.
Biden’s history of falling and injuring himself is well documented.
In 2022, Biden fell off his bike greeting reporters while on vacation at his Rehoboth Beach home in Delaware.

And more recently, Biden’s propensity for speaking unclearly and zoning out has been caught on camera at many political events.
In early December Biden appeared to fall asleep during a meeting with African leaders in Angola, as Vice President Philip Mpango of Tanzania addressed a roundtable discussion on U.S. infrastructure investments in the region.
Pool reporters observed Biden closing his eyes for extended periods and propping his face up with his hand during the Lobito Corridor Trans-Africa Summit.
The incident ended when an aide whispered in the president’s ear.
