6:13 am
what they wanted, and they wanted parks and playgrounds for their kids. and child care centers. and we built that into the plan. more recently, it's really been the city and mayor breed against those neighborhoods, not listening to them, not incorporating their plans. when i first became a supervisor, we got three of those parcels that were the former embarcadero freeway parcels, and i insisted that they be affordable housing. that's exactly what i'll do as mayor, we interviewed five san francisco mayoral candidates this week, and we have them all posted over on our website, abc7 news .com. >> and a reminder in september, abc7 news and the san francisco standard are joining forces to co-host a live debate with the top candidates. you can watch it live on september 25th at 6 p.m. now to this regional medical center in san jose is canceling plans to close its trauma, heart attack and stroke centers. but some community members say the fight for reliable medical care is not over. regional will

6:34 am
nomination. and everybody else, i think, would stand back. >> abc seven news insider phil matier said. harris, at the top of the ticket would be the best path for dems to avoid chaos at the democratic national convention set for chicago next month, a shift that the san francisco democratic county central committee is calling for. >> if biden steps down. we want vice president harris to be the nominee for president. she had the resources, she has the time, and she has the experience. >> local democrats are prepared to kick campaigning into overdrive should harris be named the democratic presidential nominee from san francisco, from the city that she started her political career in? >> we are speaking from the personal experience of what we've seen her do as an impact on our city. >> during her nearly four years in the white house, harris has been tasked with handling some of the most divisive issues from securing the southern border to women's reproductive rights efforts that could be applauded by democrats and picked apart by republicans. >> there is a good chance that she would be more motivational, because it would be different

6:36 am
documents about the assassination attempt on former president trump. in response, a congressional committee has issued a subpoena demanding more information. the republican led committee wants information about the security efforts during trump's rally. the committee chair, mark greene, has requested those documents. he actually did so one day after the shooting. we're learning more about the moments leading up to the shooting. it suggests there were opportunities to stop the accused gunman, thomas crooks. but the information does not reveal whether concerns about him were actually sent to the secret service. newly obtained photos show him looking at news feeds before the incident. crooks was first spotted by a local swat team member at 5:10 p.m. last saturday, four minutes later, his photo was taken by a member of the sniper team. at 532, a sniper noticed crooks had a rangefinder. nine minutes later, he was spotted, quote, lurking around a building. about 6 p.m, police requested more information about his
