A Boeing 737, affectionately dubbed "Trump Force Two," carrying JD Vance, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate from Ohio, was compelled to execute an emergency landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday.
The unexpected landing was triggered by a "malfunction" that occurred mid-flight, specifically related to the aircraft's door seal.
According to One America News, Taylor Van Kirk, a spokesperson for Trump, explained the situation, "The pilot advised there was a malfunction with the door seal. After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee. As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati."
This incident involving JD Vance's aircraft comes on the heels of another emergency landing involving former President Donald Trump's other Boeing plane, "Trump Force One." This previous incident, which transpired a week prior in Montana, was also attributed to "technical issues."
On board the "Trump Force Two" with Vance were his wife, Usha, his German Shepherd dog Atlas, Secret Service personnel, and press members. Van Kirk humorously noted, "Atlas had a great time on the campaign trail today, and unlike Kamala, enjoyed meeting the press on the plane!"
Asher Heimermann, a photojournalist present during the landing, reported that the Milwaukee County Fire Department promptly arrived at the scene. After a thorough inspection of the aircraft, it was allowed to continue to its original destination.
The "Trump Force Two" has been a reliable mode of transportation for Vance, ferrying him to various campaign events for the 2024 election. The recent incidents, while unexpected, have not deterred the campaign's momentum or the commitment to traditional values and limited government that Vance represents.
