helped to push the state above historic averages. >> the plentiful rain and mountain snow of the recent years sets the groundwork for accuweather's forecast of no widespread drought in california for the next two years. >> now, we should note that while accuweather is projecting no widespread drought conditions, things may still dry out in local areas. >> we are counting down to the oscars now, just four days away, and we could see some big moments. many of the categories feature opportunities for history to be made. abc news reporter tim pulliam is in l.a. with more on the milestone and the records that could be broken along with all the glitz and glamor on hollywood's biggest night. >> some historic moments could take center stage at the 96th academy awards. >> please send help. there's murder in osage and the police do nothing. >> lily gladstone could become the first native american ever to win an oscar if she wins for

producer on the film poor things , she'd be just the second woman to ever win in both categories for the same film. >> you know, nobody knows nothing until they open the envelope. that's the fun part. >> you're a ten time nominee, martin scorsese, the most nominated living director, could become the oldest, best director winner for killers of the flower moon. >> we're in a race against the. >> oppenheimer leads the pack with 13 nominations. and while it will be tough to break the record of 11 oscar wins for a single movie, it should still be a very good night for the blockbuster film. >> eight wins would be the most awarded film since slumdog millionaire. ten would put it tied as the second most awarded film of all time, next to west side story. back in 1961, tim pulliam, abc news, los angeles jimmy kimmel is hosting the 96th oscars. >> you can see who wins sunday night right here on abc seven. >> i'm talking to jimmy later this morning. yeah, i'm going to

presumptive republican presidential nominee, sources tell abc news. haley is not expected to endorse a candidate today. now the picture is clear. president biden and former president donald trump will presumably face each other in november's election. biden and trump dominating super tuesday races across the country, securing delegates with notable victories in texas and california for republicans, trump winning by large margins in all states except for vermont, where his gop challenger, nikki haley walked away with her first state of the primary season. >> they call it super tuesday for a reason. this is a big one. >> haley winning a portion of the vote between 20 to 30% in some states. trump not mentioning haley by name, says it's time for the republican party to be unified while turning his focus to the general election. >> we want to have unity, and we're going to have unity and it's going to happen very quickly. >> for democrats, president biden winning nearly all the delegates so far. biden releasing a statement on the

results, saying the american people have a clear choice, writing to millions of voters across the country made their voices heard, showing that they are ready to fight back against donald trump's extreme plan to take us backwards. still both candidates are facing cautionary signs biden continues to see voter pushback for his handling of israel's war with hamas on tuesday in minnesota, an unusually high number of democrats voting uncommitted in protest. as for trump, his issues stemmed from suburban and women voters turned off by his message and rhetoric. looking ahead, president biden will have a chance to reinforce his campaign message at thursday's state of the union address, where for the first time, the entire message will be live streamed from the potus instagram account. reggie and kumasi back to you are interesting. >> thanks, ike. >> well, as ike just mentioned, president biden will be delivering his annual state of the union address tomorrow, and you can watch it right here on abc seven. we will be bringing that to you live. our coverage

begins at 6 p.m. and a reminder you can find full election results all morning at the bottom of your screen and at abc seven news.com here in california is looking like democratic congressman adam schiff and republican steve garvey will face off in november . >> they both have a commanding lead in the race to fill the seat once held by the late senator dianne feinstein, abc seven news reporter amanda castillo is in the studio now with reaction from both this morning. >> hi, reggie. many say a schiff and garvey set up almost solidifies what's expected to be an easy run for democratic representative schiff to the senate. schiff and republican baseball great steve garvey were competing in two senate contests yesterday, one to fill the remainder of the late senator dianne feinstein's terms from november to january, and another for a full six year tum beginning in january 2025. schiff and garvey announcing advancing, i should say, marks a rare opportunity for the gop, given the grip democrats hold on the state. last night's shefs victory party was met by protesters calling for a ceasefire in gaza. he has been

since 1988. but because of the state's democratic stronghold, many expect shift to easily hold the senate seat in november. the seat is currently occupied by senator laphonza butler, but she's not running in this race. the two men now advance to the general election in november. i'm live in studio. amanda delcastillo, abc seven news. thanks amanda. >> now, a face off with garvey also means that adam schiff gets to avoid an expensive and potentially contentious intraparty fight this fall. abc seven insider phil matier gave some insight into this highly contested senate race, and adam schiff spent and his supporters spent close to $40 million to get schiff in the second into the second phase of this election and to make sure that steve garvey was the opponent basically, steve garvey had no money and wasn't known by a lot of the voters. >> and adam schiff turned him into the republican straw man to fight and elevated his presence among republicans. and one third

of california is basically leans republican. >> he gave him free advertising and they showed up. >> where it goes from here is going to be interesting. >> if schiff goes on to win in november, as expected, it will be the first time in more than three decades that california will be without a woman. senator schiff would also become the first white man from california to serve in the senate chamber since john seymour, which was in 1992. now to the only measure, the entire state voted on prop one. >> it authorizes more than $6 billion in general obligation bonds to build mental health facilities and cover substance addiction treatment. now, this has been a key push from governor newsom in his plan to fix homelessness in the state. and gloria, this proposition is extremely close right now. >> it is kumasi. it's pretty much a dead heat right now. so let's look at the numbers here right now. 50% voting yes in favor of prop one and 49% voting no. and you can see the vote difference here is just 34,000

votes. and this is with 49% of the precincts reporting so far. now if you look here at the map of the state, you can see that pretty much northern and central california with a lot of no votes. when you look along the coast, a lot of yes votes in favor of prop one. and when we look at different counties, it is pretty interesting to see how some of the different counties have voted on this. you look at san mateo county here, for example, 57% voting yes, 42% voting no. when you look at san francisco county, check this out. 71% voting yes in favor of prop one and 29% voting no. and then when we look here, for some of the other counties, for example, up north, lassen county, 24% voting yes, 75% no. so really interesting to see the results. we're going to keep tracking this for you because again, we don't have all the results in yet on prop one. but we'll be updating you throughout the morning. >> reggie that is interesting. the city is clearly wanted prop

one to pass, and a lot of the rest of the state didn't. thank you. in the south bay, san jose mayor matt mehan has a strong lead to win reelection and stay in office for four more years. a serious opposition for this primary. he talked about his continued goal to make san jose safer and cleaner. at his watch party last night. >> top of the list is homelessness and i believe that our residents are telling us that they want to see us focus on fewer things, get way more pragmatic. we can't be spending $1 million a door to get one person off the streets. people want to take pride in their city, and they want to know how they can help. and one of the most important things they can do is be a voter. so if anybody watching tonight didn't cast a ballot in this primary, i just really want to encourage them to exercise their voice, their power, their influence as a voter in our democracy. >> although sadly, a lot of people didn't show up to the polls. we're looking at a pretty low turnout. as of late last night, 20% of ballots have been returned and are still being

counted, but there are over 1 million registered voters in santa clara county today. >> democrat lateefah simon will continue campaigning in richmond. she is the frontrunner in the race to fill congresswoman barbara lee seat in the 12th congressional district. simon is endorsed by lee, who handed simon a symbolic blue baton yesterday. she addressed policies she says she will fight for, including a livable wage, transportation and public safety. >> if you look back at my 30 years of work, i have been working to create public safety opportunities for young people leaving the criminal justice system to get them into jobs. i've been fighting for equal wages. i've been pushing for transportation equity in the bay area. those are my priorities. i am stepping into a seat that has almost 60 years of progressive priorities. i'm going to keep moving that agenda. >> simon has notable endorsements, including from governor gavin newsom and the california democratic party. as of this morning, her lead is almost double that of over
