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.”
This garbage is getting awful suspicious.
It’s almost like they are trying to kill the Republican candidates.
First time is happenstance.
Second time is coincidence.
Third time is _____.
Don’t be surprised when the third time happens...
JFK AND RFK
That’s what I said in an earlier posting on this topic, and just imagine the chaos if they were to succeed in finally killing one or both of the GOP candidates.
Lease different planes, and hire shadow mechanics. Also, don’t allow any SS near the plane without witnesses.
The Democrats know they only way they win in November is to assassinate Trump. The commie bass turds haven’t given up yet.
Maintenance on planes must still be going to the lowest bidder.
It is not the first time.
Trump and Vance both. Sabotaging a plane is a more sure thing than depending on a nervous teenager with a rifle.
Twice with Vance, once with Trump already.
Maintenance on planes must still be going to the lowest bidder.
><
You think Trump does that with his Boeing 757?
Silly comment.
Hmmmmmmmmm........
Third time is enemy action.
This is a maintenance personnel issue. Or a plant security issue.
It has nothing to do with the manufacturer. And I shouldn’t have to say that, but idiots abound even on FR ...
hmmmmm.....
BTTT
👍
“It’s almost like they are trying to kill the Republican candidates.”
And it’s almost like they intend to keep trying.
