Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance’s plane made an emergency landing in Milwaukee on Friday due to a malfunction, the Milwaukee International Airport (MKE) confirmed.
An airport spokesperson told Headline USA that the Boeing 737 charter aircraft, operated by Eastern Air, returned to the airport around 1:30 p.m. after a potential issue was detected.
The aircraft landed safely and taxied without incident under its own power. The spokesperson said the plane left Milwaukee and continued its planned flight to Cincinnati after a brief inspection.
Taylor Van Kirk, a spokeswoman for Vance, stated that the pilot informed passengers of a malfunction with the door seal.
“After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee,” Van Kirk said, according to ABC-affiliate WISN 12. “As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati.”
Video footage shared by WISN 12 reporter Matt Smith showed the aircraft departing Milwaukee en route to Cincinnati.
This incident marks the second emergency landing for a Trump-Vance aircraft, after a similar event in Montana last week when Trump’s plane was forced to make a detour.
Vance was in Milwaukee to deliver remarks and receive the endorsement of the Milwaukee Police Association (MPA), one of the largest police unions in the state. Founded in 1909, the MPA represents over 1,500 officers.
In a statement reviewed by Headline USA, MPA President Alexander C. Ayala praised the policies of President Donald Trump and JD Vance for addressing the issues facing Milwaukee. “Addressing these issues isn’t political—it is truly a matter of life and death to Milwaukee,” he said.
Earlier in his remarks, he stated, “We like to say the Milwaukee Police Association is in the ‘force behind the force. We use the words ‘honor’ and ‘service’ when we talk about the brave men and women of our department. Their importance extends far beyond the uniform and badge. It is about their commitment to serving and protecting us all.”
Yes, they’ll keep trying.
There’s a new surge of covid. They will increase it as the election gets closer so they can force everyone to vote by mail.
I have already received two mailing from the city for mail in voting. I don’t know if they are ballots or just propaganda. I didn’t open them yet.
Hitlery is far better at carrying out plane crashes and other fatal accidents.
Suicides and sudden illnesses cost extra.
Don’t forget MLK. It was a KKK deal.
Watch out for that Arkancide!
How many freepers remember the old Clinton body count from years past?
They need to send the good plane. The Ted Danson plane.
Hardly ANY news mention of these events.
Put the corpse on his old Amtrak-to-Delaware route and give AF1 back to Trump.
A private plan
NOT a Silly comment know the difference.
It’s looking that way. I put nothing past the power-mad leftists and deep-staters.
