joe biden decides to step aside. and tonight, democrats increasingly coming to consensus. >> it's in the interest of continuity, stability and unity for the democratic party to clearly coalesce around vice president kamala harris as the democratic nominee. >> the east bay native, who rose through the california ranks, kamala harris, closing in on becoming the democratic nominee. bay area's political brass and

average voters all weighing in. >> i think she has to work to have a bit of a presence a bit more, especially for younger voters. >> reaction exploding from every corner of the country. republican nominee donald trump, writing crooked joe biden was not fit to run for president. certainly not fit to serve. gop already attacked harris, releasing this video. >> if you ever wondered how joe biden could get the border so screwed up, remember he had help. >> as now democrats begin to rally and unify for the first time in weeks. there is no script for what happens next, and democrats are working feverishly behind the scenes tonight to try to lock things down. >> it's always going to be a close race. >> good evening. i'm j.r. stone. it's a historic day as president biden steps aside. but now vice president kamala harris is seeing a swell of support rapidly advancing towards becoming the democrats pick for president. however, the democratic national committee is still promising to work through

all options. the party chair, jaime harrison, says there will be a transparent and orderly process. the formally, formally choose the 2024 nominee, although it's clear this has struck a chord with democrats. the actblue fundraising group says the harris campaign has raised more than $55 million from smaller donors since the announcement. it's the platform's biggest day of the election cycle, all of this intensifying over the last 24 hours. reports say president biden started firming up his exit plan on saturday night, but notified his team just one minute before sending the official message and then came the swift snowball of momentum towards kamala harris, earning a slew of key endorsements. tonight, abc seven news reporter ryan curry looks at the pattern of first that she could carry right into the oval office. it's a part of my friend kamala harris, her district attorney. >> this was years ago when the

current vice president was starting her political career. she was the first woman to ever serve as district attorney in san francisco. >> well, i've always been a woman. i don't know what to tell you. >> now, the bay area native has a chance to become the first woman, first black woman, and first south asian woman to become president. both president biden and other top democrats have endorsed her to become the party's nominee. >> we're living through history right now as someone who's followed this stuff for a long time, i've never seen anything like these last few weeks, political science professor jason mcdaniel says. >> voters of each party just want to win the election. and with vice president harris, he says the democrats see her as their best chance instead of the current president. >> i think biden's performance at the debate made clear that to a lot of democrats, he was not going to be able to prosecute this campaign. so to speak, against trump and give the party a chance of winning elections. and it became inevitable at the end of this week that he was going to have to step aside. >> now, support is growing for the vice president. >> i have nothing but respect and admiration. and her story is america's story.

>> i've known this woman for more than 30 years, and she is very, very capable supporters and former advisers of her are already mobilizing efforts to get voters to choose her come november. >> first of all, investing in field organizing, investing in in organizers, that will not just go to the cities, but the rural communities across this country, you know, especially in battleground states, including members of emerge, a group co-founded by the vice president designed to get more women elected. >> her having been a da, being an attorney general, being united states senator, being our vice president, it does make sense that she would be the next one that we see to be a candidate for president of the united states. >> the democratic convention is less than a month away. professor mcdaniel envisions the party that was divided over its candidate will unify around the vice president. >> i think you're going to see a lot of fundraising for her. i think you'll see a lot of voters, donating to her because the fear of a donald trump, second term, will unite

democrats. and i think that's the most important thing. >> vice president harris says she plans on winning the nomination in san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> the race will only pick up speed from here. tomorrow, we'll get a chance to see vice president harris speak for the first time since biden's exit. she's welcoming the year's ncaa championship teams at 8:30 a.m. our time. then, at almost the same time, here in san francisco, leading city democrats, including mayor london breed, will rally for harris in front of city hall. and wednesday, the process begins. the democratic national committee will hold its next rules meeting to open a framework and selecting a new nominee. no other democrat has announced their plans to run for the nomination. many thought governor gavin newsom could throw his hat in the ring, but earlier today, tweeting his support for his fellow californian writing, quote, tough, fearless, tenacious, with our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is

better to prosecute the case against donald trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than america's vice president, kamala harris. perhaps most notably, nancy pelosi of san francisco has not offered her endorsement for harris in a recent meeting with other california democrats, the former house speaker stressed the need for an open nomination process. we'll have more on pelosi's impact on today's decision coming up in our next half hour tonight. we're also seeing some of the other top rumored democratic nominees instead choose to back harris as the pick for president. here are some of the possible running mates. if harris were to receive the nod. the very popular governor of pennsylvania, josh shapiro, and north carolina's roy cooper both gave their endorsements to harris. today, michigan governor gretchen whitmer joined a campaign call with the harris for president staff, promising her support. other names include arizona senator mark kelly,

kentucky governor andy beshear and illinois governor j.b. pritzker. beshear and pritzker have not publicly endorsed harris. another possible name recently turned independent joe manchin. the west virginia senator is considering reregistering as a democrat so he can seek the bid. manchin left the party in may this morning on abc's this week, he advocated for an open process to replace president biden. so many questions on what will come next to make sense of it all. earlier tonight, i talked with a former legislative strategist and abc seven news insider phil matier. >> most americans weren't happy with the choice between biden and trump, and let's not forget. so the mere idea that there's somebody else in there is going to bring more interest into this race. it's going to revive it. >> abc seven news insider phil matier weighing in on joe biden's decision sunday to drop out of the race for president,

specifically talking vice president and bay area native kamala harris, who's already looking like the likely democratic nominee. >> well, kamala harris walks into this race with about $100 million handed to her from joe biden's campaign because she is on the second part of that ticket. when he leaves, it's now they've refiled it as the harris for president committee. so she walks in with more money than anybody else. >> san jose state university political science lecturer donna crane says a harris ticket would put an immediate focus on two major issues. this change sets up the major issue set contrast to be between immigration and abortion, and she's really well known on both. crane, who spent 26 years in washington, d.c, as a legislative strategist and lobbyist, said there had been recent talk of biden's run affecting other political races. >> i think his candidacy had become politically

unsustainable. uh- my understanding from having talked to a lot of people on the inside of different operations around washington, is that he was getting report after report after report that he was risking sinking other down ballot candidates, a democratic nominee other than harris could happen, but both crane and matier say it would be less likely. >> teare says there are even questions out there as to if biden will be able to finish his current term. >> does joe biden remain as president as well? if he does in fact have a condition that is worsening, how long does he go until possibly kamala harris is actually standing in for as president? as well? let's not rule that out, because from what we've seen in the last couple of weeks, anything can happen in this race. >> the status of the next presidential debate is up for debate tonight. abc's debate is set for tuesday, september 10th with david muir and linsey davis

moderating. but donald trump is now calling for a change of venue, saying it should be moderated by fox news instead of abc as previously agreed. the chair of the republican national committee says once kamala harris or any other candidate becomes the democrats nominee, they're eager for a debate. >> you know, obviously, i'll defer to the president in terms of any of the details that that they want to have with it, but we've made it very clear that we welcome that debate because we want to talk about the contrast between the biden-harris agenda and donald trump's agenda, where he is going to unite america and lead us into a bolder future. >> the biden campaign gave a statement accusing jd vance of backing down from a debate with kamala harris, and it suggests it could be due to their very differing stances on abortion rights. recent polls show kamala harris getting nearly the same amount of support as president biden over donald trump, and ipsos poll taken earlier this

month about a potential matchup between harris and trump shows the two were nearly tied with 42% supporting her and 43% favoring the former president. another poll released by cnn in the first week of july found biden with a 2% lead over trump. if harris were to replace biden in the race, she came out with a slight gain in support with a 49% of the vote to trump's 46. she has been a woman of firsts, and our abc seven originals documentary details her journey from her childhood in berkeley to her formative years at howard university. >> kamala has come from this neighborhood. she knows the steps from below to up high. >> do not be constrained by tradition. do not listen when they say it can't be done. >> she comes at a time when a lot of doors are opening, and she's not afraid to walk through them. >> and then harris's rise to

political prominence in san francisco, the state of california and beyond. watch kamala harris to be the first anytime. it's up now on the abc seven bay area app. the front page of abc7 news.com, or wherever you stream abc seven news and taking a peek at tomorrow's open on wall street. the futures of all three major stock indexes are showing to be steady tonight. the dow jones, nasdaq and s&p 500 are all indicating relatively small increases. however, the value of the us dollar is trending slightly lower. abc seven news at 11 rolls on. we go out to hear how the average person feels about the prospects of kamala harris as president. the reaction from voters in her birthplace of oakland and the chance they think she has at making history. >> i'm spencer christian. notice the absence of a developing cooling marine layer that's a clue to the hot weather that's coming our way. and i'll have the accuweather forecast in just

the warmongering in ukraine. >> we also heard more neutral opinions about a harris candidacy, from some suggesting anyone but trump would have their vote. now that the president, joe biden, has ended his reelection campaign, a big question is what happens next? abc seven news reporter cornell bernard has reaction tonight from bay area politicians and voters. >> i actually feel quite emotional about it. i'm trying to be cool on this camera, but that is some big stuff. >> bay area voters reacting to a political earthquake. the president biden is ending his campaign for reelection. it follows calls from democratic leaders for the president to step down after a disastrous performance in a debate with former president trump, the writing was on the wall. >> it's kind of a big deal just because the late in the game type situation, san francisco mayor london breed praising biden for his leadership. >> i appreciate the service of president biden and everything that he's done, not just for

this country, but for this city. >> biden has endorsed vice president kamala harris in the race to face donald trump in november. it's a possible matchup the mayor looks forward to. >> we're talking about a convicted felon against a prosecutor. >> today's decision by joe biden to not seek reelection shows the difference between a selfless president and in donald trump, a selfish person. i fully support kamala harris, north bay congressman jared huffman said. >> i want to thank president biden for putting democrats in a position to re-energize this race and save democracy by winning this election. i'm ready to go out and do everything i possibly can to make vice president kamala harris, the next president of the united states. former peninsula congresswoman jackie speier offering this joe biden's issue was his age, >> that's not going to be an issue for kamala harris. she is a very strong advocate. she will appeal to women across party

lines. she will appeal to independents. she will solidify the african american vote in this country, all of which i think are going to bode very well for democrats up and down the ticket. >> i would advise him to campaign for kamala harris the way he would have campaigned for himself. >> willie brown has known harris since she served as san francisco district attorney beginning in 2004, and all the jobs she's had, whether it was the district attorney, whether it was the attorney general or whether she was a person in the category of cross examining supreme court nominees, she's always been outstanding. now, some voters told us they would support harris if she becomes the democratic nominee, but others say they need to learn more about her. it's now less than a month before that democratic convention. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> you can check in on our website anytime for live updates on this political shakeup as they happen. from kamala's

politics, many serious situations there to a serious situation in the whether there is some serious concern out there, you're right. >> after a very cool, much cooler and more comfortable weekend, we're going back into a heat wave again. so here's what's happening with our weather right now. looking at the satellite radar composite image, the absence of a cooling marine layer there at the coast indicates a warmer weather. hot weather is coming our way. it's still breezy near the coast, but the winds have diminished significantly all across the bay area. from what we saw earlier in the evening. in the 24 hour temperature change is sort of a mixed bag. doesn't really give us a clue to the warm up that's coming our way. so let's take a look at current temperature readings. upper 50s right now at san francisco and oakland. 60 in hayward, mid 60s at san jose and redwood city, 55 at half moon bay. nice view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. very, very shallow. little bit of coastal fog there. 62 degrees in santa rosa, 59 at petaluma and napa. we have mid to upper 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. let's move along and take a look at our forecast headlines. we have hot days ahead. monday through wednesday,

with triple digit temperatures likely in our inland areas. increased fire concerns of course, with the hot weather, the low humidity, the dry fuels and the potential for some gusty winds. but later in the week there will be some cooling and temperatures will return to average and maybe even below average for a while. but right now we're looking at the heat alerts for the bay area from 11 a.m. tomorrow to 11 p.m. wednesday, we'll have heat advisories in effect for virtually all of the north bay, the santa cruz mountains, santa clara valley and an excessive heat warning for the east bay hills and the east bay east bay interior valleys, as well as the east santa clara hill, eastern santa clara hills, now overnight under mainly clear skies, overnight lows will be generally in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees. highs tomorrow mid 60s at the coast, upper 80s around the bay shoreline and numerous triple digit readings in our inland areas. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we can expect that triple digit heat to peak on tuesday, but continue into wednesday. finally, we'll see the heat easing on thursday, and a

significant cool down begins on friday, taking us into lovely weather for next weekend. >> i like the word lovely. i look forward to next week, and i think you just grow concerned about the winds when they pick up. >> you do. we're not expecting a very windy week or gusty week ahead, but there will be occasional gusts and along with the dangerously low relative humidity and of course the heat and the dry fuels out there that elevates fire concerns. >> thank you so much, spencer. >> okay j.r. >> still ahead on abc seven news at 11. california's fire season is showing itself once again tonight. we have a new update on the wildfire dave's company just scored the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. high five! high five... -i'm on a call. it's 5 years of reliable, gig speed internet...

presidential proportions. president joe biden's earthshaking decision to drop out of the 2024 race. and tonight, there's a clear idea taking shape regarding where the party goes from here, paving the way for a pivotal next few months. it's the first time an incumbent president has dropped out of his late this late in the race. that is, we're getting a look at how the biden campaign suddenly became the harris campaign. abc news reporter perry russom has the latest from washington. >> president biden dropping out of the race for the white house, endorsing his vice president, kamala harris. harris releasing a statement saying her intention is to earn and win this nomination. some democratic lawmakers starting to rally behind harris with their convention weeks away in chicago. >> the delegate i'll be happy to go back, to chicago and support the vice president. >> my choice is vice president harris. >> kamala harris, as our democratic presidential nominee, is going to bring an x factor.

>> harris does not automatically become the nominee. democratic national committee chairman jaime harrison saying in short order, the american people will hear from the democratic party on next steps and the path forward for the nomination process. biden dropping out of the race in a statement, writing, i believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. >> this decision was selfless and strong. he put the first. >> senator chris, a close ally and friend of biden, tearful on cbs. >> this was a very difficult decision and one that i think reflects the very best of who joe biden is. >> even as biden's candidacy began to unravel at the first presidential debate nearly one month ago, if we finally beat medicare, he remained committed on the campaign trail. i am running and going to win again, the republican party already

attacking harris, releasing this video. if you ever wondered how joe biden could get the border so screwed up, remember he had help. president biden says will address the nation later this week. still not clear when he's been at his vacation home in rehoboth beach, delaware, recovering from covid. perry, russom abc news, washington. >> perry, thanks so much. shortly after biden posted about his plans to walk away from the race, the first lady's communications director commented on the first lady's reaction, saying she was supportive of whatever road he chose, saying, quote, she's his biggest champion believer and always on his side. and that trusted wei, only a spouse of almost 50 years, can be a longtime friend of joe biden, says he has no doubt that the president could have successfully served another term. but he says biden made the right decision. we caught up with joe cotchett at his home in the peninsula.

>> i think it's one of the great moves of joe biden that goes to show that he's all hard about this country. i think he decided in his heart, the best thing for him to do was, rather than just seek a longer legacy, to now turn it over, to people that were younger than him. let's face it, getting old was difficult. difficult for anybod. uh- joe has been one of the great presidents we've had, and with all the nonsense about his age, the problems he's been having, talking or discussing things with people, he's putting that aside and saying, wait a minute, i'll put that all uh- on the next bench and i will move on in the benefit of the country, cotchett has been friends with biden for nearly 50 years. >> he says he was first introduced to biden by longtime east bay congressman tom lantos, and they have been friends ever since. a bay area representative of the republican national

committee says her party has some questions. she calls biden's decision today an abrupt turnaround and says republicans want to know exactly what happened. >> as recently as a couple of days ago, the democrats were insisting that joe biden was going to stay in the race and was going nowhere. his family, his immediate staff and supporters were telling us that. so what happened in the last 48 hours to convince him to get out or what? frankly, what threats were made by democrat party leaders because this is a very abrupt turnaround. >> harmeet dhillon also called today's announcement a shocking betrayal to the democrats, who voted for biden in the primary. so how did we get here? it can really be tied back to that debate performance biden had against donald trump late last month. although polling and approval ratings indicated some concerns with biden's favorability before then. then, about a week later, biden sat down with abc news chief anchor george stephanopoulos for the

first exclusive interview since the debate. the next week, biden held a nearly hour long news conference, taking questions from reporters. that same day, biden's campaign reportedly began testing head to head matchups of kamala harris versus donald trump. and the next week, senate majority leader chuck schumer and former house speaker nancy pelosi both expressed their concerns to biden about staying in the race. although biden remained committed to pushing through when the history of this fateful 24 days is told, nancy pelosi, i think, is going to be seen as having an even bigger effect than we even knew. >> on joe biden's thinking and decision making at almost every step along the way. since that disastrous debate happened a couple of weeks ago, we saw pelosi doing what he could to try to get joe biden to the what he views, what she viewed as the right position. and keep in mind who nancy pelosi is. nancy pelosi is actually a couple years older than joe biden, been in politics not quite as long, but knows him very well from from his days as a united states senator. they work closely when

she was house speaker, doing more than anyone else, probably to enact the obama biden agenda. she wasn't saying it from the perspective of some upstart that wants to get biden out for political advantage. she was saying this from the perspective of a of an elder statesman who knows what it's like to be elder and knows what it's like to be going through the signs of aging and trying to urge along. joe biden, through her surrogates, through people very close to her, through very carefully crafted leaks and very carefully crafted statements along the wa, she was trying to get joe biden to the right place because she knew that this was a decision that could only be made by one man at this stage of the cycle. >> and today, in a statement from pelosi, she said, quote, president joe biden is a patriotic american who has always put our country first. excuse me? his legacy of vision, values and leadership make him one of the most consequential presidents in american history. god bless america with joe biden's greatness and goodness, we are quickly seeing numerous

and powerful political groups rally around kamala harris as the democrats presidential nominee. the largest political action committees representing communities of color all endorsed vice president kamala harris as the next president. the aapi victory fund, the collective pac and latino victory fund had also all backed president biden before today's decision to step aside. reuters and axios report. the democratic party chairs of all 50 u.s. states endorsed harris for president earlier today. however, notably missing from the list. former house speaker and bay area lawmaker nancy pelosi. we have continuing coverage of this story. check out all of our content on abc seven news dot com. now to other news and the global outage caused by a software update from the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike. microsoft says 8.5 million windows devices were impacted by the outage. they say that's only 1% of their overall

family, and he's got game. meet the two year old soccer phenom going viral. that's coming up this week at 1 p.m, right here on abc seven. >> it's one of the most important days of the year here at abc seven. this morning, the annual aids walk san francisco is held at golden gate park. abc seven is a proud sponsor. at least $1 million was raised today alone with some $97 million raised since 1987. hey,

good morning, aids walker san francisco. >> make some noise building a better bay area with every step. >> thousands took part in this year's five-k aids walk san francisco in golden gate park. organizers say all the money raised benefits bay area organizations that help people living with hiv aids. >> there's a lot of people that are out there that still need it, and there's certain people that are over a certain age that are still living and fighting, you know, to get some of the things that they need. >> team ucsf leader dan bernal has been living with hiv for more than 30 years, and i know that i would not be alive today were it not for the courage and the commitment and the hard work of the physicians at ucsf and san francisco general hospital and ward 86. >> so i am deeply grateful. >> dan, you are our hero. >> just before the opening ceremony. abc seven news anchor dan ashley received a special honor. >> we are so honored that we're able to present this brand new bench in honor of dan

30 years in the fight against aids. when nobody else came out and stood for us, dan was here for us. i don't really know what to say. >> this is the is finding honor as i've ever received and certainly the most meaningful. >> dan accepted the honor on behalf of abc seven and gave credit to our president and general manager, tom zebrowski. >> he's here on a sunday. to be so supportive, he makes sure that the station is committed. you know, we always talk about building a better bay area. this event builds a better bay area every day. >> great point there. you can still donate at sf aids walk dot net. spencer. that really is special seeing you know everything. all the money raised and then the bench is just a cool feature that comes. >> it really is. and dan, as you probably know, is one of the most committed people we have to community service and you know, it does it from the heart. he really does. >> and you can see that in

everything he does. those events involved with it. >> well, let's talk about some hot weather coming out. >> it looked a little cool in the park there. >> yeah it did. the cool weather is about to disappear starting tomorrow. here's a look at the satellite radar composite image. you can see the absence of a marine layer. so that means an absence of a cooling effect. we have some brisk breezes at the coastline, but they're not really having a cooling effect anywhere except at the coastline. so these are our current temperature readings. upper 50s at oakland and san francisco, 60 at hayward, mid 60s at san jose and redwood city, 55 at half moon bay. nice view from mount tam looking down onto the bay. and again, almost nothing in the way of a marine layer or coastal clouds. 62 degrees at santa rosa, petaluma and napa in the upper 50s, 63 at fairfield and upper 60s at concord and livermore. and these are our forecast headlines. hot days lie ahead monday through wednesday with triple digit temperature readings in our inland areas. now, this also, of course, increases the fire concerns. it's going to excuse me. it's going to be very hot. we have very low relative

humidity. thus dry fuels. and occasionally we'll have some gusty winds. so those elements can increase the risk for wildfires later in the week though good news is some cooling is coming our way as temperatures will drop down to or even below average toward the end of the week. meanwhile, though, we have these heat alerts in effect going into effect 11:00 tomorrow morning until 11 p.m. wednesday. now, the areas in orange here, the santa cruz mountains, santa clara valley, all of the north bay are under a heat advisory. the areas in red here under that's the east bay hills, the interior valleys of the east bay and the eastern santa clara hills are under an excessive heat warning, which is more severe. so let's move along here. overnight lows under partly cloudy, mainly clear conditions will be generally in the upper 50s and then highs tomorrow mid 60s at the coast. some upper 80s to near 90 around the bay shoreline. and we'll see lots of triple digit temperature readings in our inland areas. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. now that pattern will continue through wednesday tuesday likely to be the hottest day of those three

hot days, with inland highs close to 105 in the hottest locations. then on thursday the heat eases a bit and the cooling really kicks into high gear on friday, taking us into a really nice, comfortably cool weekend next weekend. but we have to be cautious during those three hot days. certainly. >> i guess if we can't get rain during this time of year, cooling is the next best thing. >> it is the ne
