ABC World News Tonight with David Muir Full Broadcast - Nov. 10, 2026
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 2:38House Republicans refer the Hegseth impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee, blocking its advance.
- 5:18A United flight issues a hijack alert after a passenger's bomb claim; no explosives are found.
- 6:28A sightseeing helicopter makes an emergency hard landing in New Jersey with no injuries.
- 10:56An Ole Miss student apologizes and withdraws after a video of racist gestures.
- 12:15Ginger Zee forecasts a potential nor'easter bringing rain, wind and mountain snow to the Northeast.
- 19:11Texas high school football teams honor mothers facing breast cancer in the closing America Strong segment.
Rachel Scott's report gets to the distinction behind the headline: House Republicans sent the resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, effectively stopping the effort for the remainder of the Republican-controlled Congress.
That outcome leads David Muir's November 10 edition of World News Tonight, which drew about a million views in its first day, roughly thirty times ABC News' usual start for regular videos. Hegseth's response is blunt: "It's a farce, and it's a stunt. And everybody knows it."
The broadcast then turns from Washington to two aviation emergencies. Ike Ejiochi reports on a United flight that issued a hijack alert after a passenger said he had a bomb; no explosives were found. Matt Rivers follows a sightseeing helicopter's emergency hard landing in New Jersey, which left no one injured.
ABC's separate uploads also drew unusually fast starts, including reports on a White House warning that Democrats' planned oversight could cross into criminal behavior and proposed changes that would make automatic eligibility for food stamp benefits harder.
Muir's full broadcast ends somewhere quieter than Capitol Hill. Its America Strong segment shows Texas high school football teams honoring mothers facing breast cancer with flowers and gestures of support. Amanda Alphin uses her appearance to call for a lower screening age and encourage other women going through treatment.
U.S. defense secretary since 2025, Hegseth is an Army veteran and former television personality.
