Black Friday 2020 is next week. Business Insider reports that this year's Black Friday is shaping up to be unlike any that came before it. Several retailers are deemphasizing in-store shopping. Many retailers are opting for several, limited-time sales during the lead up to the big day. Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Kohl's, Macy's, Target, The Home Depot, and Walmart are currently offering several early Black Friday deals in stores and online.

Business Insider reports McMillon said on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' on Thursday that Congress needs to pass a second stimulus package--and do it quickly.

There are Americans...that don't really care about politics, aren't really tied up in this election and they just need some help. Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO Interview, CNBC's 'Squawk Box'
