Things aren't going great for President Obama right now -- even Air Force One is breaking down on him.
The president and his entourage had to change planes in Philadelphia before returning home on Sunday night because of a mechanical issue.
"We have transferred to a backup airplane due to a minor mechanical problem with one of the aircraft's flaps," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. "This switch to a backup C-32 will not affect our schedule."
Any plane carrying the president is automatically dubbed Air Force One. Obama returned to Washington on Sunday night without incident.
Obama attended campaign rallies in Bridgeport, Conn., as well as Philadelphia on Sunday, two days before elections that could lead to a Republican-run Senate.
