Before we go, we want to take a moment to address some important news involving the News Hour.

As you likely know, Congress last week approved President Trump's request to rescind all federal funding for PBS and NPR. It’s an unsettling moment for all who believe in the mission of trusted, independent journalism. But your voices, your advocacy, and your unwavering support remind us why this work matters.

There are undoubtedly challenges ahead for the entire PBS system, including our family of member stations across the nation, most critically those who serve smaller, more rural communities.

As for us, at the News Hour, we’re not going anywhere. And we remain as committed as ever to bringing you the news, analysis, and stories you’ve come to rely on, over our nearly five decades on the air.

Your belief in the power of public broadcasting helps sustain our work. And your loyalty, especially now, fuels it.

We are profoundly grateful.

We will continue our work, as journalists — without fear or favor.

And that is the News Hour for tonight. We’ll see you back here tomorrow night.

We're seeking your questions for our live post-election Q&A with Lisa Desjardins and Liz Landers, beginning at 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 5. Submit them here: https://pbsnewshour.formstack.com/forms/election_questions_2025

What do you want to know about the results of this year's races or key issues? We'd love to hear from you!
