A 6,000 ft runway in Gardnerville is unlikely to host Air Force One.

Maybe not a 747....but the 757, that could.

Remember that the President has a whole fleet to choose from, including helicopters of even a V-22 Osprey.

The Minden runway is 7400 feet according to wikipedia. Should be fine.

Minden/Tahoe main Runway 16/34: 7,400′ x 100′ (Asphalt). More than enough for the 757 aircraft that the POTUS often uses for shorter flights to smaller venues.
