Trump rushes to save rowdy toddler from falling off stage in Vegas while joking about former president: ‘Don’t want him to be Biden’
US President Donald Trump intervened to stop a toddler from falling off a stage during a campaign-style event in Las Vegas, making a lighthearted joke about his predecessor Joe Biden in the process. The moment occurred as Trump addressed a crowd at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa on Wednesday, drawing attention on a night otherwise focused on his economic policy pitch.
Trump spoke for just over an hour on populist economic measures including no tax on tips and his proposed "Trump Accounts". Towards the end of his remarks he invited a local couple, Sandra, a casino waitress, and Brad, a Las Vegas police officer, onto the stage, during which the rowdy toddler nearly fell before Trump stepped in to catch or steady the child, quipping that he didn't want the child to end up like Biden.

Trump was speaking at a campaign-style rally at the Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas, an event centred on his economic proposals, including plans for no tax on tips and so-called "Trump Accounts". Towards the end of his speech, he invited a local couple up on stage, a casino waitress and a police officer, along with their young child.
During this moment, the toddler nearly fell off the stage, and Trump stepped in to steady or catch the child. He then made a light-hearted remark referencing former President Joe Biden, whose occasional stumbles and physical missteps were widely reported and often mocked during his time in office.
The clip has drawn attention mainly for the light-hearted exchange rather than the policy content of the speech, which was the event's main purpose.
