Tuesday on the News Hour, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy meets with U.S. and European officials as tensions with President Trump persist. Trump rallies voters in Kansas, a traditionally Republican state where the midterm battle has become surprisingly competitive. Plus, election officials in Pennsylvania work to build trust in the voting process and ensure every ballot is counted.
