Subject: In-Town Pool Report #7B: Trump on SCOTUS/Election
The president took two questions after remarks about ballot fraud just now. Check transcript.
Is this why he is eager to fill the seat vacated by RBG?
“I think this will end up in the Supreme Court. And I think it’s important we have nine justices,” Trump answered.
Asked about timing of confirmation, he said “I think it’s better if you go before the election.”
“I think it’d be fairly quick,” he said of confirmation.
Sen. Hawley followed up at the invitation of the president to say “I think we should have a vote before the election for the reasons the president articulates, and I think we'd get it done.”
Other things happened before that…
Sen. Hawley condemned the concentrated power in social media companies and decries Section 230.
Trump interrupted with a joke, “so how come I beat them last time?”
“We are watching them very closely during this election cycle,” he later said of social media companies. “This is big time.”
West Virginia AG Morrisey told a story about how the same day Twitter censored his tweet about voter fraud, his office “affirmed a lot of the things you were saying.”
“Everything,” quipped Trump. He made extended remarks about “unsolicited ballots” that would be catastrophic and disastrous during the election. He said of Democrats, “they are setting it up for chaos.”
Before that, the president questioned if the Postal Service was involved in fraud, asking “are mailmen involved?”
He mentions legal challenges concerning ballots and says of the judges presiding over those cases: “They have the power to stop it. I hope they’re watching…this is going to be a disaster.”

Up next, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, who spoke on the "myriad ways to scale" Learning and Employment Records (LERs), which Sec. Ross noted would be the highlight of today's meeting.

"States have to be those models, working with those model employers on" prioritizing "skills-based hiring practices…"
Following a video from Dept. of Commerce, IBM executive chairman Ginni Rometty, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff also spoke.
Rometty discussed the blockchain "Learning Credential Network" used by several Western universities. She noted how blockchain allows the connection of multiple bodies via a "skills-first approach" — She also cued a video breaking down how the pilot program lets state cybersecurity workers categorize, log, and share their credentials.
Benioff, who addressed the board virtually, outlined a Salesforce project meant to streamline frontline nursing resources: "Even as we confront today's challenges, we remain incredibly optimistic…"

Benioff noted in particular Salesforce's work to train contact tracers throughout the pandemic.
"Business is the greatest platform for change…"
McMillon spoke on a joint initiative with IBM, LinkedIn and others that takes three retail roles, mapped the skills required, and worked with a tech team to share the credentials.
"This is a crucial enabler for the longtime viability of these projects…"
