WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris’ aircraft was forced to divert to a Washington-area airport after encountering stormy weather Tuesday night as she returned from a trip to Georgia.
Press secretary Kirsten Allen said in a statement, “Tonight, en route from Atlanta, GA, Air Force 2 was diverted from Joint Base Andrews to Dulles International Airport due to inclement weather.”

We had a big front come through last night with heavy winds following. The winds were much more concentrated (converging) along the coast & likely would have included Andrews. Dulles is much more ‘inland’ & while still windy, likely did not have what was going on to the east. My brother, on the coast, was getting 60-70 mph wind gusts & about 100 miles west, we were at maybe 40 mph. I looked at the wind map last night and there was a slot to the northwest with winds not showing up, so Dulles may also have been in that slot.
uh oh.
hildabeast plans foiled?
Why did she go to Georgia? Was she carrying messages?
It landed safely?
She shouldn’t do that after eating three bean salad.
The winds were more favorable. I guess.

“Wind sheer”? Was swallwell onboard?
Doh! “Wind SHEAR”! yeah, my brain ain’t working.
She’s an official hero of the Let’ Go Brandon White House. She almost got killed. This proves how courageous and brave she is. “Da bess VP ever!

The wind field in yesterday’s storm was significantly stronger to the east and south of DC - where Andrews is located - versus Northern Virginia. I think it’s just that simple.
PERFECT
Practice run?
She musta cut a good one.
I don’t want Harris replaced with a less-unlikeable VP in an election year.
