David Muir had a crowded rundown for the November 9 edition of World News Tonight: investigations involving Nvidia, a Republican-led impeachment effort, a cruise ship death and an aviation close call. The full broadcast drew about a million views in its first day, compared with roughly 32,000 for a typical regular ABC News upload.
Mary Bruce's Washington report captures Thomas Massie's move to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Republican midterm losses, with the Iran war central to the political fallout. Donald Trump says he will stand by Hegseth, who dismisses the pressure as noise. The story has since advanced: ABC's November 10 coverage reports that the House blocked the effort.
Elsewhere in the broadcast, Alex Stone reports on the FBI's homicide investigation following a passenger's death aboard MSC Seascape, which returned to Galveston. Gio Benitez explains a close call at LAX after an Air France departure took an unauthorized turn near an American Airlines flight.
The comments repeatedly return to the fraternity fire report and aviation safety, rather than a single Washington headline. The broadcast closes on a different kind of emergency response: Orange County firefighters rescuing Barkley the pug from an apartment blaze, with Muir reporting that the dog has found a new friend in Engineer Stinson.
A Republican who has represented Kentucky's 4th congressional district in the U.S. House since 2012.
