msnbc, i think kind of a mini primary, maybe a vetting hosted by former presidents, including obama and clinton, would be helpful, sources tell abc news. senate majority leader chuck schumer, house minority leader hakeem jeffries and former house speaker nancy pelosi have all told biden he'll lose to donald trump and drag down democrats in congress. outside the white house, voters, activists and organizers gathered to call on the president to pass the torch. one of the president's closest allies, senator chris of delaware, says biden is listening. >> i think our president is weighing what he should weigh, which is who is the best candidate to win in november. >> time is running short. democrats plan to hold a virtual roll call on the first week of august to nominate biden. once nominated, he could still step aside, but the process becomes more complicated. alison kosik, abc news, new york. >> and as pressure continues to

mount on president biden to step aside. abc news reports. vice president harris had a call with fundraisers urging them to keep making contributions. abc seven news reporter ryan curry joins us live. he spoke with a political expert who says the biden campaign needs to keep a close eye on donations. good evening to you, ryan. >> yeah, zach. good evening. it's one thing to hear other democrats call on the president to step down, but campaigns cost a lot of money, as we know. and if donations start to go down, the president could be in a tough spot. president biden visited the bay area five times in the last year for fundraising trips. experts say this region is full of people who consistently contribute to campaigns. >> this is where there's a lot of wealth and not only a lot of wealth, but a lot of people who are very interested in politics on both sides of the political aisle. >> melissa mickelsen is a professor of political science at menlo college. she says when it comes to funding and donations, it is a crucial part of the campaign. >> running for president is super expensive and you need to raise just enormous amounts of money to be competitive as top

democrats call on the president to drop out of the race, his top donors are also hesitant to keep throwing money towards his reelection. >> abc news says vice president harris spoke with some top donors friday, asking them to keep faith in the campaign. she posted on x saturday afternoon, saying, i see joe biden when the cameras are on and when the cameras are off. joe biden is a leader who fights for the american people. but according to the report, the donors were expecting the call to be about replacing the president. >> you're going to expect each candidate to raise somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 billion. and so if you have trouble fundraising, you know that that can be a huge hindrance to your ability to win. >> abc news also says former president bill clinton and former secretary of state hillary clinton have been encouraging donors to back the president in san francisco saturday assembly member phil ting said the donors have every right to withhold their money if they want. >> president biden has received record support, record funding, and i think that the donors who

are supporting the democratic party, supporting president biden, they have every right to express, you know, their feelings, their opinions. >> professor mickelson says the president's campaign has already raised a lot of money. she says the issue is not running out of money. it's maintaining the support. up to november, she expects the big money donors to still fund his campaign if he stays in the race. >> they want the biden or whoever they want the democrats to win. they're trying to use their money as a nudge to maybe change who's the standard bearer, but they're not going to withhold donations. it's unlikely in this situation. >> we did reach out to some of the bay area's top donors who contributed to the campaign. we're waiting to hear back. a spokesperson for donor gretchen sisson did get back to me, but said she's not available to comment. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> ryan, thank you. and november is fast approaching. if you're looking for a job and a way to get involved in the election, usps has opportunities near you. there's two job fairs that are coming up in the bay area, so

blueprint on how to get it done. abc seven news reporter anser hassan. was there clement street in san francisco's richmond district was packed with kunal, who grew up in these streets, is happy that her neighborhood is getting some love. >> it's like, good to see, like good positive things that like support, like this is what clement is. but there's also new things happening here as well. >> thousands turned out for the richmond district's second summer night market. but beyond the fanfare and food, organizers say there's a strategy at play. >> our theory, our premise is that the road to san francisco's recovery is actually through events and through the streets. >> many yekutiel is executive director of civic joy fund, a nonprofit working to revitalize san francisco. he's also owner of the popular manny's cafe, which hosts political forums. the group is putting $100,000 towards eight night markets, an investment he believes that will pay off big. >> the goal is to have san francisco become the night market city, and we're going to get there in the next few

months. >> what i've heard time and time again is that people want clean and safe streets, and that is what san francisco needs to deliver, not just some time, but really all the time. >> san francisco supervisor connie chan says what the night market shows is that san francisco streets can be safe and clean. she hopes it will encourage small businesses to take more risks. >> merchants feel more confident about opening their shop into the later hours, because they can see a crowd like this as possible. and so we can see that month by month we're making progress and we're not giving up. >> organizers say they're also trying to be strategic, trying to showcase businesses in the neighborhood. the richmond night market is anchored by the four star theater inside a record store, food and free movie shorts playing for those who come. >> so the night market is just a fantastic way for people to come in and see how it's been renovated. what we've added to it. >> organizers say the large crowds prove san francisco is responding in san francisco, anser hassan abc seven news.

about. >> spencer, you took a sneak peek at my forecast, right? it's going to cool down again. some some more tomorrow from today, but then it's going to heat up as we get into early next week. so zach is on top of things here. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. the high pressure to our east had been in control of our weather during those hot days we've had at the end of the week, that high pressure has been nudged to the east. a little bit by this area of low pressure, which has allowed for the building of a little bit of a marine layer and some cooling onshore winds. and that's why we've had a two day cool down this weekend. but going into next week, things will change. right now we're looking at quite vigorous onshore flow. 42 mile per hour surface winds here in san francisco, 31 mile per hour gusts at oakland, 29 mile per hour gusts at concord. so all around the bay area right now we're feeling the breeze and we're feeling a bit of a cooldown. continuing the 24 hour temperature change shows most locations several degrees cooler than they were at this time. last night, especially over in the inland east bay concord, 16 degrees cooler, livermore 13 degrees cooler. so let's take a view from the exploratorium camera. looking back at a

portion of downtown san francisco, 55 degrees here in the city right now, oakland 59. low to mid 60s at hayward, san jose, redwood city and 55 at half moon bay. i'll step back and give you a good view of this shot from mount tam. looking down onto the bay under the big bright moon. that's a beautiful shot. you can see a little bit of some some shallow low clouds developing, but no significant marine layer yet. 62 degrees up north at santa rosa, 55 at petaluma. mid 60s at napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. and on we go to the forecast headlines. cooler tomorrow. then even today was with bright skies and mild temperatures. heat returns next week. triple digits inland for the first three days of the week, and then late next week. we expect some cooling with temperatures at or even below average for this time of the year. so here's a look at our heat alerts in the orange area here. this is a heat advisory the advisory and the excessive heat warning will both be in effect from 11 a.m. monday to 11 p.m. wednesday. now, the excessive heat warning is in

effect for the east bay hills and the inland east bay valleys and down into the eastern santa clara hills. in the orange area, we have the heat advisory in effect for all of the north bay, including the north bay hills and the interior valleys. also, the santa cruz mountains and the santa clara valley. so under these excessively hot conditions, just bear in mind that there's an increased chance of heat related illness overnight. we'll see a little bit of a marine layer developin, but it won't cool down much overnight. lows will generally be in the upper 50s to low 60s, so pretty mild overnight. highs tomorrow in the comfort zone. low 60s at the coast, mid 70s around the bay shoreline generally mid to upper 80s inland, although a few spots will top out at or above 90 degrees. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. notice how hot it gets on monday, tuesday and wednesday. inland highs on those three days, ranging from 100 to about 104 degrees. we'll see some mid to upper 80s around the bay shoreline, perhaps even near 90 in a few spots. then on thursday, the cooling begins,

still warm inland with some mid 90s. but look at friday and saturday inland highs reaching only into the mid to upper 80s. low to mid 70s around the bay. that's the weather i'm looking forward to. >> yeah just in time for the weekend. >> that's exactly right. we love it spencer. >> thank you so much. okay zach. all right. still ahead on abc seven news at 11. check out this cool drone show. we're going to explain what exactly they created in the sky over hong kong. and this year's aids walk is just one day away. on sunday, july 21st at golden gate park. the annual fundraiser benefits local hiv and aids programs, so to register, call 415615. walk or visit spacewalk dot net. we'll be rig

some success. not everyone likes the way they've gone about it. closing two city blocks to cars. city officials say it's their way of building a better bay area. abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez has a look at how it's working, and the controversial move to make that closure permanent. >> it started out as a pilot program after the pandemic, pushing cars away from two city blocks in downtown san mateo and allowing pedestrians to be well in the driver's seat, so to speak. >> it'll be closed the next 3 to 5 years and making the best of it, mackenzie djokovic is with the downtown san mateo association. >> she oversees 550 businesses in the area. about 150 are food related services. most restaurant owners are happy having b street between first

and third avenues. a pedestrian only experience. >> i don't know about everybody, but it's good for us and we like it. we want to keep it. >> local businesses say they have seen fewer drivers speeding on busy third street. >> now you know you have parklets. i have one here. you know the other businesses have parklets on the same street. so it kind of slowed people down. >> but here are the people who don't like the closure. people in cars like delivery truck drivers who have to park several blocks away to then haul their goods. carolina vale of los amigos imports, says her 29 year family owned business has suffered about 45. >> we've lost a lot of customers because customers they don't like to park far away, the owner of sage mediterranean wrote us an email stating some of the concerns from local businesses include lack of parking, operational challenges, lack of business and safety. >> he also says his takeout

business has tanked because parking is nearly impossible to find. san mateo seems to be working on these issues by installing more of these green zones, with a limit of 24 minutes to allow for a quick pickup, the city council also recently approved designated parking spots for food delivery services like uber eats. that still doesn't help valet and the nearby shoe store. >> and unfortunately, restaurants have more say than the mom and pop shops. and there's only two businesses that have been here for over 25 years, and we have no word and say we asked san mateo's mayor how the city expects to help them. >> let's talk about shoe repair, right? okay, so isn't he. isn't it better if he relocated somewhere else? i mean, how do you bring business to his place? >> well, what happens and what is already happening is the people who come wandering down the mall and they go, i didn't even know there was a shoe repair store in san mateo. wow. i'm going to come back. >> we'll check back in a few

months to see if his situation has improved. >> we went from primarily a 9 to 5 economy to a afternoon lunch to evening economy, while the downtown area seems to be flourishing, it's the weekends that tend to bring the bulk of their clientele, like during the weekend. >> oh my god, you're going to see a lot of younger generation. they walk around, oh my god, feel. so i feel every business got a busy city. >> officials told us they're working to bolster the number of visitors during the week by offering something that other bay area cities struggle with. >> the new businesses that i've seen coming in, i always ask them, you know, what brought you to downtown san mateo? and what i've heard over and over again is we feel really safe here. we've heard really good things about the safety. so happy. >> happy to report that san mateo city officials are also counting on a number of new housing developments nearby to help bring more business to the downtown area. lyanne melendez
