The emergency landing comes one week after Trump’s plane was forced to divert on the way to a rally in Montana. Trump landed in Billings due to a mechanical malfunction and switched planes before continuing to Bozeman.
Vance has been traveling the country in the plane since being named Trump's running mate with key staff members, Secret Service agents, as well as some journalists. His wife, Usha, and their dog Atlas were traveling with Vance on Friday.
