by the afternoon we're seeing highs 102 103 in our hottest spots. so you do want to take precautions. stay hydrated. stay cool. today warm around the bay shoreline as well. full sunshine pretty fast here. mid 80s. the coast though very popular today. the beaches will likely be pretty packed. we'll see those temperatures a lot cooler. very comfortable with partly cloudy skies today and highs in the mid 60s. let's check in with amanda. see those drive times this morning. >> yeah. hi drew. we're continuing to track a major issue through oakland. you can see the backup from this incident. it's at the top of your screen here. this is a rollover crash solo rollover crash on northbound 880. this is at 66th avenue. really really slowing things down. the two left lanes are open for passing an alternate route though, as san leandro street or 580. you can see here that car at the bottom left of your screen. this is in commute direction, so the backup is starting to crawl from 98th avenue. there's also bumper to bumper traffic from hegenberger road you can see

right on your screen. crews are on scene working to remove that car, but we're told chains are needed. it's slowing things down to ten miles per hour here at this hour. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. what a historic weekend in the world of politics. president biden, stepping aside in that 2024 race for the presidency. but now vice president kamala harris is seeing a swell of support rapidly advancing toward becoming the democrats pick for president. >> the democrat democratic national committee is still promising to work through all options. the party chair, jaime harrison, says there will be a quote, transparent and orderly process to 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 $45 million from smaller donors since the announcement. it's the platform's biggest day of the election cycle, all of this intensifying in the last 24 hours. >> reports say president biden started firming up his exit plan saturday night, but notified his

team just one minute before sending that official message. and then came that swift snowball of momentum toward vice president kamala harris, earning a slew of key endorsements. abc seven news reporter lena howland joining us live from san francisco. lena, the vice president from the bay area. so how are local politicians reacting? >> well, as those donations continue to pour in for the campaign, local democratic leaders here in san francisco are wasting no time letting the country know that this city has her back. this morning at 9:00, democratic leaders will be holding a rally in support of vice president kamala harris on the steps of san francisco city hall. that's where we are expecting to hear from mayor london breed, city attorney david chiu and members of the san francisco democratic party. remember, harris was the first woman to ever serve as district attorney in san francisco. now, the oakland native has a chance to become the first woman, first black woman and first south

asian woman to become president of the united states. both president biden and other top local democrats have endorsed her to become the party's nominee. here's representative mark desaulnier out of walnut creek. >> i have nothing but respect and admiration and her story is america's story for having been a da, being an attorney general, being a 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. >> supporters and former advisers of hers are already mobilizing efforts to get voters to choose her come november. that includes members of emerge who you just heard from a group cofounded by harris designed to get more women elected. today's rally at city hall is expected to kick off at 9 a.m. live in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you. lena. no other democrat has announced plans to run for the nomination. many

thought governor gavin newsom would throw his hat in the ring, but yesterday, the california governor tweeted 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. a 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 speaker emeritus stressed the need for an open nomination process. >> some of the other top rumored democratic nominees are instead choosing to back vice president harris. so here are some of the possible running mates if she were to receive the nod. the very popular governor of pennsylvania, josh shapiro, and north carolina's roy cooper, both gave their endorsements to vice president harris. 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 jb pritzker. now, beshear and pritzker have not publicly endorsed harris. senator joe manchin tells cbs this morning he will. he will not seek the nomination for president. his name had been floating around as a potential candidate. he left the democratic party in may and would have to reregister if he wanted. that nomination. but it appears as if that is not going to happen. >> there are so many questions about what will come next. amanda has more on how. abc seven news insider phil matier is reacting to president biden dropping out of the race. >> kumasi abc seven news insider phil matier says most americans were not happy with the choice between president joe biden and former president donald trump. matier says the idea that vice president harris is now involved is going to bring more interest into the presidential race. >> 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. >> and san jose state political science lecturer donna crane says there had been recent talk about president 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 and a democratic nominee other than vp harris could happen, but both crane and matier said it would be less likely. >> back to you, reggie. >> brianna. thank you. the status of the next presidential debate is in question this morning. abc news is supposed to host this debate september 10th with david muir and linsey davis. donald trump is now calling for a change of venue and says that he wants it to be

moderated by fox news. the chair of the republican national committee says once vice president 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 in four years. >> the biden campaign gave a statement accusing jd vance of backing down from a debate with vice president. harris suggested he could be due to there. it could be due to their very differing stances on abortion rights. we'll have much more on president biden's historic announcement throughout the morning. and if you're heading out the door, keep abc seven news.com and our apps handy. you can see all of our stories and the very latest developments as they happen. >> 609. okay. camera this morning is showing quiet conditions, current. right now it's 58 degrees. we have partly

cloudy skies above the airport. a very light wind and high humidity. we'll take a look at today's forecast and we will find our summer spread is back. after yesterday's pleasant temperatures. today we're heating up away from the coast. half moon bay, not under any heat advisories, will stay in the 60s along the coast. a little bit warmer in the city at 70. 80 in oakland. but inland is where we have the excessive heat warning in effect 101 the high in walnut creek with a lot of sunshine. here's future weather. we do have some cloud cover along the coast this morning. we do anticipate that cloud cover to pull away from the coast. as we head into the afternoon for bright conditions, we will see our temperatures warm pretty fast as high pressures in control, and you can see inland will hit those 100 degree readings later on today, 70s and 80s around the bay shoreline. we'll find those temperatures comfortable along the coast. so a high of 80 in oakland today. but 92 in san jose, where we do have a heat advisory in effect for the south bay 99, in santa rosa, 101 in concord, 103 in

antioch, 84. the high in san mateo, our inland heat wave will last three days. it will peak here tomorrow before cooler weather quickly rushes in. by the end of the week. i can't wait to show you those numbers. kumasi coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right. thank you. drew. still to come, two east bay school board members now facing professional consequences for trying to ban pride flags at schools. then $1 million in counting. abc seven, the proud sponsor of the annual aids walk that benefits those living with the virus, then the a-lister who turned down a chance to voice the open ai chatbot i only meant to order five. there's not enough money in my account for these. i'm gonna get charged. two things i just can't deal with. overdraft charges. and garden gnomes. but your bmo smart advantage checking account gives you an extra day to avoid an overdraft fee. nice to see a bank cutting people some slack. mistakes happen. and we give you time to correct them.

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. >> former san francisco mayor willie brown has known vp harris since before she became da in 2004. he says in every job she has had, she has been outstanding. some voters tell us they would support vp harris if she becomes the nominee. others say they need to learn more about her. back to you. the desk kumasi. >> thank you. amanda. recent polls show vice president harris is nearly the same amount of support as president biden over former president trump. of course, all of this these polls were done before the announcement yesterday. an ipsos poll taken earlier this month about a potential matchup between vp harris and mr. 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

president biden with a 2% lead over former president trump. if vp harris were to replace the president in the race, she came out with a slight gain in support with 49% of the vote to mr. trump's 46. you can check in on our website anytime to get live updates on this political shakeup, as these updates come in from new polling numbers to deep reporting on how we got here, you can find it all on the front page of abc7 news.com. >> two local school board members who sought to ban pride flags from being flown on district property have officially been recalled. the alameda county registrar of voters certified the results of the recall election friday. 52% of people who voted supported removing board president ryan jergenson and trustee linda hurley from their seats on the board for the sunol glen unified school district. the controversy began last september when the two sought to change a district rule, which would only allow the u.s. and california flags be flown on campus. we've reached out to both for comment. we haven't heard back. >> a little squirrel near disney

president biden drops out of the 2024 race for the white house. it comes after his highly criticized debate three weeks ago, which sparked relentless pressure from his own democratic party to abandon his reelection bid. in a letter addressed to my fellow americans, the president writing, it has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president. i believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. >> this was a very difficult decision, and one that i think reflects the very best of who joe biden is. >> president biden throwing his support behind vice president kamala harris, who had taken the lead on fighting for women's reproductive rights. do we believe in the promise of america and are we ready to fight for it? harris saying, i am honored to have the president's endorsement, and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. we're told she spent much of sunday calling

former advisers of hers 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. >> i've known this woman for more than 30 years, and she is very, very capable. >> this comes as an outpouring of donations have flooded in the actblue fundraising group says the harris campaign has raised more than $55 million from smaller donors. that happened in less than 24 hours since the announcement was made again, today's rally for vice president harris is expected to start at 9 a.m. on the steps of san francisco city hall, live in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you. lena. east bay congresswoman barbara lee is rallying behind vice president kamala harris. she says the vice president can relate to

communities across the country because she understands people of various cultures. >> this is about unifying everyone. it's about connecting with the voters. no one is going into this looking at it through rose colored glasses. she cares about people and she sees people. and we have to just fight hard. we don't have a lot of time, but we're going to do it. >> congresswoman lee also says the vice president fights for everyone and is ready to lead the country. with the convention in just less than a month, there are still so many unanswered questions about what comes next for democrats. >> so what can we expect over the next few weeks? we're joined now by doctor nolan higdon, a professor of history and media studies at cal state east bay. that's probably asking too big of a question, because who would have thought that the past seven days would have happened? but here we are. so i want to ask you first about who has not come out yet for the vice president to be the top of the ticket. former president obama, he's left open door. it seems to have

perhaps someone else run and then we haven't heard an endorsement from nancy pelosi either. what do you make of that? is there beef? is there tea or is it just too soon? >> you know, i think there's a debate within the party, even if you support harris about whether or not it's best for the party in harris to go through some sort of process, there are some folks who believe that if, she has to compete for the nomination, then that will strengthen her candidacy. will demonstrate that she can fight and win. but there are others in the party that are concerned that if you don't, if you have that process, it may look like the party is divided. it may create some wounds that that can't heal by november. from some of the early indications we've seen from obama and pelosi in particular, they've both signaled that they would like to see some sort of process. so i'm not surprised they haven't endorsed, because i think they're still advocating for a process to figure out who the candidate is going to be. >> well, there's definitely been a lot of momentum in the hours since this announcement has been made. the harris campaign saying she's raised nearly $50 million.

now, how significant is that? and what do you make when you see those type of numbers, >> you know, i think it's really a major part of this, this whole story of, of biden stepping down. i think the real initial pressure came from donors who said initially they wouldn't donate to his campaign, and then any other democratic campaign. i think that put pressure on democrats to put pressure on biden, to step down. and once biden announced he wasn't going to run anymore, the donors opened back up the coffers. and you see, it immediately going to harris, i think that shows a lot of support amongst the donor class for harris, which is going to be important as presidential elections are very expensive. >> i'm wondering about this. so our our media partner, the standard, has a report out talking about how former mayor willie brown, who at one has known kamala harris for a very long time. they used to date politically. they known each other for a while, too. he wants president biden to step down now, and he's saying that that would be the biggest injection

for kamala harris to become president, because he would immediately put her in that position and just make it easier for voters to see her as the next president. do you ever see that as a scenario that would play out? >> i can't imagine at this point biden would step down unless there was, you know, something that that forced him to, but i do think, willie brown's comment is getting to something that's on a lot of people's minds. and i suspect that biden's going to try and clear this up this week, which is, if you don't think you can run for president, what makes you think you can be president? and i think that's kind of what willie brown is speaking to. and i know biden plans to give a speech this week where i where i anticipate that he'll try and explain why it is he did not run for president, but can still continue to do the job of presidency for the handful of months that are left. >> let's talk about potential vp candidates in the case that harris is becoming the democratic nominee, we see several governors mentioned what are your thoughts about that? who do you see as a likely candidate for that? >> yeah, i think, harris will

most likely choose, a governor from a swing state. so we've seen a shapiro and governor shapiro in pennsylvania mentioned a lot, as someone who harris may choose, shapiro would be part of that so-called blue wall, as would governor gretchen whitmer. so i think those are two, leading names we've seen we've also seen, you know, the governors of north carolina and, senator mark kelly of arizona mentioned as battleground states as well, so i'm imagining that harris is probably going to go in that direction. it's not really clear what someone like a gavin newsom would bring to the ticket, as they, you know, are both from from california, so i'm looking at those battleground state governors and or senators. i imagine that's where she's going to end up choosing someone. wait, you didn't say andy beshear and andy beshear is also on that that list, he is very impressive in that he's a democrat who's won in the deep red state of kentucky, actually, the state where i was born twice, but i

think there's a lot of concern that, kentucky is a state that just can't be flipped. and a lot of attention on that blue wall instead. >> interesting. okay, well, we will see what happens over the next coming days. you can't say this isn't wild because it is, this what a difference 24 hours makes having a totally different conversation yesterday morning. >> yeah, >> fasten your seat belts. thanks so much, sarah. still to come in the hot seat, the secret service director will have to answer tough questions about the security lapses on the day of former president trump was almost assassinated. >> then tesla bringing robots into the fold. when elon musk wants to start implementing them. here's drew. hey there. >> kumasi 643 this morning. we'll get you going on our monday morning looking at temperatures that are going to warm pretty fast. today we have a little bit of cloud cover along the coast, but most areas do have clear skies this morning. and temperatures will get hot later on this afternoon. away from the coast. 101 in walnut creek today with an excessive heat warning. in effect. lot cooler along the
