ABC World News Tonight with David Muir Full Broadcast - Sept. 9, 2026
President Trump's trip to the first-ever GOP midterm convention in Dallas was delayed after an emergency slide on the new Air Force One, a $400 million gift from Qatar, accidentally inflated and deployed. Military personnel reportedly triggered the slide, though Trump stated it was a check. The president later took off on the same jet, arriving in Dallas to rally support for Republican candidates amidst low approval ratings and voter concerns over the ongoing war in Iran and gas prices.
The incident caused a notable delay for the President en route to a significant political event aimed at bolstering Republican midterm prospects. It also raises questions about the operational readiness and safety checks for the newly acquired presidential aircraft.
The episode also covers a former Anthropic employee's warning about AI risks, a wild police pursuit in Dayton, Ohio, leading to a stolen police car crashing into a home, and Apple's unveiling of a new foldable iPhone.
