Summary
A Boeing 767 crashed into a fence with a fuel leak, prompting an NTSB investigation and airport delays. President Trump’s super PACs are deploying hundreds of millions to support Republicans, though some candidates trail their Democratic rivals in fundraising. Record-high diesel prices are blamed on the war with Iran, while Energy Secretary Chris Wright defends the conflict. An Indonesian volcano eruption shut down six airports, and a man with weapons attacked Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton at a campaign event.
