The Boeing 737, nicknamed “Trump Force Two,” carrying Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), was forced to make an emergency landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday after experiencing a “malfunction” during the flight.

The plane reportedly had problems with the door seal.
“The pilot reported a faulty door seal. After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee,” Trump spokesman Taylor Van Kirk said. “As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally scheduled flight path to Cincinnati.”
The recent grounding of the J.D. Vance plane follows the emergency landing of former President Donald Trump’s other Boeing plane, Trump Force One, in Montana a week ago due to a “technical issue.”
Vance was accompanied by his wife Usha, his German shepherd dog Atlas, members of the Secret Service and members of the press.
“Atlas had a lot of fun campaigning today and, unlike Kamala, even enjoyed meeting the press on the plane!” Kirk said.
Photojournalist Asher Heimerman, who was present at the time of the landing, reported that the Milwaukee County Fire Department arrived on the scene and inspected the aircraft, after which it departed for its original destination.
The “Trump Force Two” plane is being used to shuttle Vance to campaign events in 2024.
