After an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on the latest details, the suspect, and the possible impact on the Presidential race. If Trump wins a second term, the campaign has tapped Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick as Co-Chair of the transition team; Lutnick makes his case for Trumponomics 2.0. Today TikTok is in court, fighting to remain operational in the US. Entrepreneur Frank McCourt says he’s ready to buy TikTok, but not out of love for the platform. Plus, Apple shares slid after reports of lackluster demand for the iPhone 16, and SpaceX successfully completed the first civilian space walk.
