Former President Trump’s plane was diverted to Billings, Montana, on Friday due to a mechanical issue, a Billings airport official said.
The Republican presidential nominee is scheduled to hold a rally in nearby Bozeman, Montana, Friday evening, and is still expected to make it.
"I just landed in a really beautiful place: Montana. So beautiful, flying over and you just look down and that's the way it's supposed to be," Trump said in a video from his plane posted to social media, making no mention of any plane issues or of the diversion. "I'm here to do some fundraisers and most important to support Tim Sheehy who'se running for the U.S. Senate and we think he's going to do really well. We're going to have a rally. And it'll be a lot of fun."
It's not clear if Trump will fly on to Bozeman or drive in a motorcade, the local FOX affiliate reported.
