Trump's midterm push G7 agrees fuel release

Oct 1

Baier and Peter Doocy report Trump's effort to make the midterms a referendum on him while fuel costs and the Iran war threaten Republicans. Doocy says Trump expects the Iran war to continue until after the midterms. Trump says Europe has diesel available. Doocy says a virtual G7 meeting agreed to release 100 million barrels immediately over four months, including substantial diesel in the first twenty days. Hassett expects economic benefit; Macron says members will refrain from export bans, and Trump tells Doocy a diesel-export ban was never really on the table. The report attributes recent additional Patriot deployments to Axios and anticipates possible further strikes. It replays Trump's plea that supporters pretend he is on the ballot and his impeachment warning if Republicans lose, then includes Doocy's question and Trump's response dismissing past impeachments as fake. Doocy describes Robert Garcia's possible investigations of Trump and his family if Democrats control the House. These are plans, claims and electoral assessments, not election outcomes or investigations reported to have begun.

Trump urges supporters to pretend he is on the November ballot and warns that Republican defeat could lead to another impeachment. Fox replays the appeal and includes Doocy's later question and Trump's dismissal of earlier proceedings as fake. Doocy describes Robert Garcia's possible investigations of Trump and his family if Democrats gain House control. These are campaigning and prospective investigations, not an impeachment vote.
