A Boeing 737, known as “Trump Force Two,” carrying Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance (R-Ohio), had to make an emergency landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday due to a “malfunction” during the flight.
The issue reportedly involved the plane’s door seal. “The pilot advised there was a malfunction with the door seal. After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee,” stated Trump spokeswoman Taylor Van Kirk. “As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati.”

This incident follows another recent emergency landing involving former President Donald Trump’s other Boeing plane, “Trump Force One,” which occurred just a week ago in Montana due to “technical issues.” Vance was traveling with his wife, Usha, their German Shepherd dog Atlas, members of the Secret Service, and members of the press.
“Atlas had a great time on the campaign trail today, and unlike Kamala, enjoyed meeting the press on the plane!” said Kirk.
Asher Heimermann, a photojournalist who was present during the landing, reported that the Milwaukee County Fire Department arrived, inspected the aircraft, and then the plane departed for its original destination.
The “Trump Force Two” plane has been regularly used to transport Vance to and from 2024 campaign events.
