Vice President Kamala Harris’ plane was redirected to a Washington-area airport on Tuesday night due to stormy weather after her return from Georgia.
Press secretary Kirsten Allen stated, “Tonight, en route from Atlanta, GA, Air Force 2 was diverted from Joint Base Andrews to Dulles International Airport due to inclement weather.”
The diversion was prompted by wind shear, a sudden and potentially hazardous shift in wind direction or speed during takeoff and landing.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
