I might see a very small bump (2-5%) at most and it will likely be temporary. The problem for him is most people don’t care about Venezuela whatsoever. And any claims that this will lower the price at the pump is nonsense. We don't even know which (if any) oil companies will reenter Venezuela. There are some conservatives that will hate the nation building aspect of this.

I think most people are skeptical that this a distraction from Epstein, and more directly to their pocketbook, as we’re seeing unemployment rising and inflation not really going away.
