JD Vance's aircraft forced to make emergency landing in Milwaukee amid door malfunction
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: JD Vance had a mid-air scare after his campaign plane, Trump Force Two made an emergency landing.
As per reports, a door malfunction led to the uncalled situation and the aircraft was safely landed at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.
"After declaring an emergency, Trump Force Two returned to Milwaukee. As soon as the issue was resolved, the plane returned to its originally planned flight path back to Cincinnati," relayed Vance campaign spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk.
Trump Force Two later reached Cincinnati
It was a Boeing 737 charter which reached its original destination in the afternoon without any more hiccups.
Vance's aircraft was greeted on the tarmac by ARFF units, according to the Express US.
Interestingly, Donald Trump's plane had to be diverted to Billings due to a technical glitch when it was supposed to head to Bozeman. The former president went ahead with his schedule through a different jet.
Before his take off for Cincinnati, Vance met with the Milwaukee Police Association and answered a few questions.
JD Vance opens up on Kamala Harris' policies
On being asked if Donald Trump should tilt his focus from attacking Kamala Harris with personal jibes, towards her policies, the VP nominee responded, “I don't think the president needs to pivot, and if I told him that, I can guess what he'd say,".
He added, "I think that the reason that President Trump has been so successful connecting with Americans is, even when they disagree with something that he might say, they know that he just is who he is."
Vance highlighted Harris' record on crime, emphasizing her policies make police officers' jobs "harder" and also held the vice president responsible for "trying to redefine her record as a tough on crime prosecutor."
Vance also sparked controversy after defending his previous comments linking rising crime rates to Irish immigrants by referencing the 2002 film 'Gangs of New York.'
JD Vance invoked the film 'Gangs of New York' to support his argument about the historical link between ethnic enclaves and crime in the United States.
"Has anybody seen the movie 'Gangs of New York?'" the Ohio senator asked the audience about the Martin Scorsese film.
"That is what I'm talking about; we know that when you have these ethnic enclaves in our country, it can lead to higher crime rates," he continued.
Vance's comments come after he made similar claims about the consequences of mass migration in the 19th century in a recently resurfaced Skype interview.
