News Today: Government Shutdown, Louisville Plane Crash, and Election Updates

Voters across the country backed Democrats Tuesday at the polls, adding fuel to the government shutdown fire that reached a historic moment Wednesday in Washington, D.C. "We must get the government back open soon," Trump said during a meeting Wednesday with GOP senators, saying it was "negative" for Republicans.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced it would reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 "high volume" markets beginning this Friday. The reduction was prompted due to staffing shortages amid the ongoing government shutdown, which entered its 36th day, the longest in U.S. history.

A federal official said Wednesday that a UPS cargo plane’s left wing caught fire and an engine detached moments before the aircraft crashed and exploded after takeoff in Kentucky, killing at least 12 people, including a child.
