The Trump administration has proposed a multibillion-dollar overhaul of the U.S. air traffic control system in the wake of recent deadly plane crashes and technical failures that have put a spotlight on the outdated network.

The Trump administration is promising to fix the nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers after recent control tower troubles on the East Coast and a string of crashes this year.

A deadly midair collision in January between a military helicopter and a commercial airliner, and several crashes since, have prompted officials to focus on fixing the nation’s outdated air traffic control system and hiring more controllers.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, one of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, has decided to seek reelection to a third term.

Priebus would only consider running for Senate if incumbent Republican Ron Johnson did not seek a third term, the strategist said.

Priebus served as Trump's chief of staff for the first six months of Trump's term in 2017 before being fired.

Biden inched past Trump on Friday and led by about 11,600 votes on Monday afternoon, though the AP has not called the race. The AP has called Nevada for Biden, who was leading Trump by about 36,000 votes. The reality: Biden defeated Trump by about 20,500 votes in Wisconsin, a margin of about six-tenths of a point. The initial margins in those races were 137 votes, 215 votes and 261 votes.
