Target’s Sales Boom, DNC Day 2 & College COVID Outbreaks

Day 2 of the all-virtual Democratic National Convention featured the formal nomination of Joe Biden for president. CNBC’s Washington Correspondent, Eamon Javers, reports the highlights, saying “it’s basically a 2 hour advertisement for the presidential candidate of the Democratic party.” Target reports a monster second quarter with profit up 80% and set a record for same store sales. Target CEO Brian Cornell says the company has focused on creating a safe shopping environment for the consumer. Josh Bolten, Business Roundtable CEO, reflected on the one-year anniversary of the BRT’s redefining corporate responsibility. Plus, colleges across the country are finding it may be impossible to create a coronavirus-free environment on campus and do women make better leaders in a crisis?
