Tuesday's PBS News Hour opens with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy meeting U.S. and European officials as tensions with President Trump persist, a high-stakes diplomatic moment as Kyiv works to shore up support.

In addition, election officials in Pennsylvania are working to build trust in the voting process and ensure every ballot is counted, part of the broader effort to reassure voters ahead of the midterms. The episode also includes a segment on Zelenskyy moving to repair ties before a Witkoff-Putin meeting. The full episode brings together international developments, domestic politics, and election administration coverage in one comprehensive broadcast.
