Former US President Donald Trump’s (Republican Party) Boeing 757 plane, Trump Force One, experienced technical problems on Friday, August 9, 2024, during a trip to the state of Montana, but landed safely in the city of Billings. The rally will take place on the Montana State University campus, 226 kilometers away from Bozeman.
Airport staff confirmed the flight had been rerouted, and the flight landed without any major problems, according to the Daily Mail. Specific details about the mechanical issue have not yet been released.
After landing, Trump said he was happy to be in Montana, as seen in a video released by his campaign. However, he did not mention the incident. “I just landed in a beautiful place, Montana; it was so beautiful flying over the state,” he said.
The former president is scheduled to hold a rally in Bozeman at 8 p.m. local time (11 p.m. ET). Trump’s presence in Montana is aimed at influencing the U.S. Senate race.
