Last night in Ohio, President Trump rallied supporters alongside @SenJonHusted, making the Republican case for the midterms. Husted says the choice is clear: lower taxes, more jobs and secure borders—or a return to Democratic policies. @pdoocy
Politics met football on the campaign trail.
@SenJonHusted revealed that Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden surprised him by showing up at President Trump's rally in Dayton, Ohio. Turns out the two are former college teammates. @pdoocy
"Kathy Hochul is the biggest pickpocket in America."
New York gubernatorial candidate @NassauExec says he'd slash state spending, cut what he calls fraud, waste and abuse, and return billions to taxpayers if elected. @pdoocy
"We gave the Democrats a chance. They failed."
Texas congressional candidate, @teixeiramark25, argues the cost of living, energy prices and border security should be top issues for voters, saying Republicans are focused on making life affordable for Americans. @pdoocy
When asked if he'd suit up for the Congressional Baseball Game if elected, former MLB slugger @teixeiramark25 joked Democrats would "intentionally walk" him before adding he's headed to Washington to fight for Texans, not just play baseball. @pdoocy

G7 DIESEL LIFELINE: President Trump heads to Mobile, Alabama, to rally the base and protect Republican majorities in Congress, while the administration is tackling skyrocketing fuel prices driven by the Iran conflict. Following a virtual G7 meeting, leaders announced a coordinated release of 100 million barrels, including a frontloaded diesel release, to shield households and truckers from crippling price shocks. @pdoocy reports live from the North Lawn on the latest major domestic and international developments.
NEW: President Trump jokes about the prospect of impeachment No. 3 after @pdoocy reminds him he's already been through it twice.
DOOCY: "You've already been impeached twice, so what's a third time?"
TRUMP: "Well, I don't know, but I'm getting good at it."
The president then calls the prospect of another impeachment "fake" and suggests Democrats would target him again if they win control of Congress, a tactic Republicans refused to use on Joe Biden because it would have been "inappropriate."
TRUMP ON FLYDUBAI HIJACKING: @pdoocy reports on President Trump's assessment of the recent near-disastrous flydubai hijacking, where the President notes authorities are looking closely at potential Iranian involvement. Meanwhile, international investigators are uncovering new evidence regarding the weekend terror plot targeting RAF Fairford, the U.K. military base used by the U.S. Gen. Jack Keane joins the discussion, revealing that British intelligence has disrupted 19 late-stage Iranian attacks in recent years.
BREAKING: President Trump says that based on what he's hearing right now, "yes," the flydubai co-pilot is linked to Iran, but stressed officials are still "working on it right now."
Trump said "it could have been," when asked by @pdoocy if the IRGC placed the co-pilot there or if he was radicalized another way, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously said it was too early to tell whether the co-pilot was linked to Iran.

@pdoocy asked Trump as he boarded Marine One whether anyone had briefed him on a possible Iran link.
Doocy then clarified, asking whether the IRGC put the co-pilot there or whether he was radicalized some other way. Trump says, "It could have been."
Netanyahu previously said it was too early to tell whether the co-pilot was linked to Iran.
BREAKING NATIONAL SECURITY UPDATES: UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed strong indications that Iran played a role in a thwarted security threat near the RAF Fairford air base, despite categorical denials from the Iranian embassy in London. Meanwhile, President Trump announced the official completion of U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq, highlighting the eradication of ISIS, while shifting domestic focus toward massive economic wins, including a historic $200 billion energy infrastructure investment agreement with South Korea.
