TL;DR

Air Force One turned back to Joint Base Andrews due to a reported minor electrical issue shortly after taking off for Davos, with a new aircraft carrying President Trump taking off about an hour later. Reports noted brief press cabin lights outages; the second plane is a C-32, a modified Boeing 757. The trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos proceeds on a replacement aircraft amid ongoing discussions about Air Force One modernization and delays in replacing the aging 747 fleet.
