Emerging victorious from that unforgettable presidential race was President Donald Trump — and now Fox Nation subscribers can access behind-the-scenes content from his journey to becoming the 47th President of the United States.DEPRESSED MEDIA REACT TO TRUMP VICTORY: HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY HAVE HAPPENED?
'The Art of the Surge: The Donald Trump Comeback' is a six-part docuseries streaming on Fox Nation that takes viewers through Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. In the first episode, titled 'We'll Make It Happen,' the show examines the lead-up to his CNN debate with Biden in Atlanta, GA. One month following his disastrous debate performance against Trump, President Biden announced that he would suspend his 2024 re-election campaign amid mounting pressure from within the Democratic Party. The unprecedented announcement prompted Biden to quickly offer his "full support and endorsement" for Vice President Kamala Harris to take over as the party's presidential nominee.
The show's second episode turns down a darker path, covering suspect Thomas Matthew Crook's assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, PA. The tagline of the episode disclaims that the footage shown is 'the closest anyone will ever get' to comprehending what occurred on that fateful day in July 2024.
The episode chronicles from when shots were fired to the aftermath of attendees grappling with the horrific ordeal.

Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announces run for Senate in a win for Democrats

WASHINGTON - Roy Cooper announced he will run for an open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina, a big win for Democrats who had been eyeing the former two-term governor as their best chance of flipping the swing state seat in the 2026 midterms. Cooper, 68, is joining what is expected to be a competitive race to succeed Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who said he will not seek reelection. President Donald Trump has already weighed in on the race, endorsing Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley - who has yet to announce his candidacy - in a social media post. In a video shared on X July 28, Cooper said that he 'never really wanted to go to Washington," before adding: 'But these are not ordinary times. Cooper served as the North Carolina governor from 2017 to 2025, during which he expanded Medicaid coverage in the state, raised teacher pay and worked to address climate change. He previously served in the state's legislature and as North Carolina's attorney general. After Cooper's announcement, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the main campaigm arm for Senate Republicans, quickly released an ad criticizing him as a 'wreck.' 'There are people you trust in the driver's seat. Roy Cooper isn't one of them,' the narrator of the ad says, knocking his decision to implement COVID-19 lockdowns and veto a bill restricting transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports, among other issues. Though former Democratic Rep. Wiley Nickel of North Carolina announced a Senate run in April, numerous news reports indicate he is deciding whether to suspend his campaign. Democrats have had mixed success in North Carolina. The party last won a Senate election in North Carolina during the the 2008 cycle, when Kay Hagan defeated then-incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole. That's also the last time a Democratic presidential nominee won the state when Barack Obama defeated John McCain en route to capturing the White House. Hagan, meantime, lost her reelection bid to Tillis in the 2014 election. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. The North Carolina Senate race will be closely watched as Democrats seek to regain control of the upper chamber and try to block Trump's second-term agenda from advancing.

Trump says he has not been asked to pardon Maxwell following Epstein interviews

US President Donald Trump has said he has not been asked to pardon disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell following her 'truthful' answers to government questions about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell was found guilty in December 2021 of luring young girls to massage rooms for paedophile financier Epstein to molest between 1994 and 2004. The US Department of Justice met with the 63-year-old convicted sex-trafficker last week – interviews in which her lawyer David Markus said his client would 'testify truthfully'. The US government faced a backlash from Mr Trump's support base following words from Attorney General Pam Bondi that there was no evidence Epstein had a 'client list'. Following the criticisms, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell over the course of two days – with Mr Blanche saying: 'No-one is above the law and no lead is off-limits.' Mr Markus previously said the disgraced socialite had not been offered a pardon as part of the interview process. In a short statement ahead of the meetings, the lawyer said: 'I can confirm that we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. 'We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.' Questioned on whether he had been asked to pardon Maxwell, the US President told reporters on Monday: 'Well, I'm allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody's approached me with it. Nobody's asked me about it. 'It's in the news – that aspect of it – but right now, it would be inappropriate to talk about it.' During her three-week trial in 2021, jurors heard prosecutors describe Maxwell as 'dangerous', and were told details of how she helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein's various properties for him to sexually abuse. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison at the federal court in the southern district of New York (SDNY) in June 2022. Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide.

US-EU trade deal: Key takeaways from agreement struck by President Trump and Ursula von der Leyen

The EU and US have reached a tariff agreement that avoids a transatlantic trade war but still imposes a 15 percent American tariff on most imports from the bloc. The deal requires Europe to spend billions of dollars on US energy products and weapons, as well as a 15 percent tariff on most EU exports to the US includes cars. It was announced after a meeting on Sunday between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. The Independent takes a look at the details of the agreement. Trump 'could change his mind even after the deal is signed' 'While the deal has avoided a much worse outcome for now, it remains to be seen whether it will last,' said Jack Allen-Reynolds, Deputy Chief Euro-zone Economist of Capital Economics, adding that Germany will be hit harder the most countries. 'The fine details of the deal may not yet have been agreed. And President Trump could still change his mind even after the deal has been finalised and signed.' Although the 15 percent tariff is only half of what Trump had threatened, the deal will still disappoint many European leaders who already criticised the UK's acceptance of 10 percent US tariffs in May as a poor outcome. Trump had previously warned that tariffs could rise to 30 per cent if no agreement was reached by August 1. 'Today's deal creates certainty in uncertain times . . . for citizens and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic,' von der Leyen said. While Chancellor Friedrich Merz welcomed the avoidance of a trade war, Wolfgang Niedermark, board member of the Federation of German Industries, called the agreement 'an inadequate compromise' with 'painful tariffs' likely to harm Germany's export-driven industry. What has been agreed by the EU and the US Almost all EU goods entering the US are subject to a 15 percent baseline tariff, including cars, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. Tariffs on European steel and aluminium will stay at 50 percent. The EU has pledged $750 billion in strategic purchases, covering oil, gas, nuclear, fuel and chips during Trump's term. Brussels also agreed to invest $600bn, including buying military equipment, during his second term. There will be zero-for-zero tariffs on 'all aircraft and component parts, certain chemicals, certain generics, semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products, natural resources and critical raw materials', von der Leyen said. What could change in the deal The steel and aluminium 50 percent rate could later replaced by a quota system, according to the EU Commission chief. More products could be added to the zero-for-zero tariffs. It remains unclear what tariffs European wine and spirits producers will be subject to in the US. Trump retains the ability to increase tariffs if European countries don't stick to their investment commitments, a senior US administration official told reporters in Washington on Sunday. Some tariffs could change after the US announces the result of its 232 trade investigation, which determines the impact of imports on national security, in two weeks.
