How does Trump make a Senate election about his own political standing? In Fox News' most-watched new upload of the week, he gives South Carolina voters a direct instruction: "In this election, I'm asking you to pretend I'm on the ballot."

The Pendleton broadcast follows his endorsement of Republican Senate nominee Darline Graham, with interruptions from protesters punctuating the speech. He promises support for building I-73, urges early voting and pauses to recognize boxer Evander Holyfield in the crowd. The rally drew roughly 147,000 views in its first three hours.

Campaign messaging also runs through Jesse Watters' new midterm-strategy commentary. Elsewhere among the channel's fifteen uploads, Brett Tolman discusses the investigation into Ilhan Omar on America Reports, while Kevin Corke covers her response on Jesse Watters Primetime. A separate business Short reports Elon Musk's support for a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger, conditional on shareholder backing.

Fox News added about 126 million views over the week, substantially more than the roughly 76 million of the previous note. Its daily viewing is now around three times its usual pace, though its subscriber count is unchanged. Among nearby broadcasters, CNN recorded a similar weekly view gain; ABC News and NBC News are also seeing daily viewing above their usual levels. For Fox News, the rally supplies the week's clearest connection between campaign coverage and the president's personal appeal to voters.
