storm picking up steam in the gulf of mexico overnight. more than 10 million people bracing for massive rainfall. faith abubey is in st. petersburg, florida. good morning to you, faith. >> reporter: good morning to you, rachel. the storm is still a ways from us here in the tampa bay area, but we can feel the winds intensifying, and the waves getting larger and smashing into the sea wall here, and now there are mandatory and voluntary evacuations along the coast as the storm system takes aim. this morning, millions in florida bracing for impact as a newly formed storm system, debby, rolls toward the sunshine state. this video capturing the storm as it moved in on south florida. the system upgraded to a tropical storm overnight, and now expected to strengthen into a hurricane before slamming into florida's big bend region today in the northern part of the state. >> you can prepare as much as you want, and it just kind of depends on what happens. >> reporter: about 10 million people in its path. debby expected to drop 10 to 20 inches of rain in some areas, bringing fears of life-threatening flash floods and storm surges forecast to potentially be as high as

7:06 am
and we'll turn now to the presidential race as donald trump and running mate jd vance try to persuade voters in georgia, and vice president watch for the harris campaign with an announcement expected this week. abc's senior white house correspondent selina wang is in atlanta with more. selina, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, will. former president donald trump rallied here in georgia last night trying to court voters in this critical battleground state. he was clearly testing new attack lines on vice president harris, trying to see what would stick. all of this as the vice president is on the verge of choosing her running mate. overnight, former president donald trump and his running mate jd vance rallying in battleground georgia. >> we're going to win the great state of georgia in an epic landslide. >> reporter: trump testing attack lines and insults on vice president kamala harris just days after she rallied at the same venue. >> and when we fight, we win. >> she's acknowledged to be the
7:07 am
worst vice president in the history of our country. >> reporter: harris and trump both courting georgia voters as the race tightens in battle ground states, and harris this morning on the verge of choosing her running mate. former attorney general eric holder whose law firm is conducting the high-stakes vetting process arriving at the naval observatory in washington yesterday. sources tell abc news harris is meeting with some top contenders this weekend including popular first-term pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, a former prosecutor. also under consideration, arizona senator and retired astronaut, mark kelly, the husband of gabby giffords, minnesota governor tim walz, a retired schoolteacher and former congressman, and kentucky governor andy beshear, a rare democrat leading a red state. some trump supporters in georgia tell me the former president should tone down the attacks on harris. >> stick with the issues, yeah. stick with the task at hand.
7:08 am
>> reporter: vice president harris will choose her new running mate by tuesday. that's when she kicks off her travel to seven battleground states in just five days along with her new running mate. donald trump on the other hand, he only has one rally scheduled for next week. whit? >> whit: thank you. for more on this, let's bring in abc news political director and washington bureau chief, rick klein, and rachel here who's at the desk. you've been following both campaigns this campaign season. rick, let's start with you. talk about what's at stake for vice president harris and what do these final calculations look like as she decides on a running mate? >> whit, we're beyond political handicapping. at this stage, harris and everyone know what you're getting with someone like josh shapiro as a governor of pennsylvania, key battleground state. you know what you're getting with tim walz, the governor of minnesota. you know what you're getting with mark kelly and the biography he brings, but you don't know the personal chemistry.
7:09 am
this is someone harris will have to work with for four years and for this critical stretch of the campaign and that's what matters now, these meetings at the naval observatory, of course, they're taking place in the very house that one of these men might occupy as vice president, and this is essentially a job interview for a job that kamala harris knows literally better than anyone because she is doing it now. >> whit: all right, rick, stand by for us. rachel, i want to bring you in here, you have been tracking the trump campaign. it's been interesting seeing him out, you know, giving these stump speeches and how things have changed. how are they responding to the shift on the democratic ticket? >> rachel: we've talked about how much the trump campaign really wanted it to be president biden on the democratic ticket, and now they are trying to recalibrate their strategy here. you're seeing the former president out on the campaign trail really trying to test out these new lines, see exactly what sticks. it was just a few days ago when he questioned the racial heritage of vice president kamala harris, questioning her racial identity. what you're hearing from voters there in selina's piece, republican voters, trump supporters, are saying, focus on the issues. we're starting to say, that's not the way to win an election.
7:10 am
the way to win an election is to focus on the issues. >> whit: something to watch in this very busy week. rick, let's go back to you now and give us just a state of the race heading into this critical week. who has the edge in the polling? >> whit, this has been a whirlwind couple of weeks, and it's upended the polls. take a look at the fivethirtyeight polling average in the battleground states. you see the deficit that joe biden had on the day that he exited the race, and all seven of the major battlegrounds, and now, according to the polling averages, kamala harris has eaten into that edge or erased it and turned it around entirely in all three states. the big three battleground states that are at the top of that list, wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. those three alone almost certainly would deliver harris the presidency. she's now leading in all three of those states. >> whit: still a very, very tight race as you noted. rick, thank you so much. tune into "this week" later on this morning. george stephanopoulos interviews trump ally, representative byron donalds about the state of the race, plus "the wall street journal" about that prisoner exchange with russia. rachel.
7:11 am
>> rachel: overseas now, and to the growing concerns that the war in the middle east could explode beyond israel's borders. the u.s. are sending fighter jets to the region and now a new warning for american citizens in lebanon. abc's matt rivers has more from tel aviv. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, rachel. this entire region on edge this morning as we know this iranian retaliation for those israeli assassinations, earlier this week, they'll be coming any time now. a reminder though that as the focus is here in israel, the fighting and devastation continues in gaza. the hamas-run health ministry there saying 30 people have been killed in israeli air strikes in just the last day including 16 at a former school turned shelter. israel was saying it was targeting a hamas weapons manufacturing facility. it says was operating there. this as the u.s. military assets are moving into position this as we speak. all designed to help defend israel against what is expected to be a large missile barrage at the very least. it could be as big or bigger than the last iranian attack in
7:12 am
april where hundreds of projectiles were fired at israel. the unrest prompting u.s. embassies in the region to issue alerts in lebanon. the u.s. embassy there saying americans that can get out should get out now on whatever flight they can, and for those who can't, prepare to shelter in place for an extended period of time. will? >> will: matt rivers for us in israel, thank you. back home now to the investigation into the death of a man pinned down by security guards outside a milwaukee hotel. part of the confrontation was caught on camera, and the case has now been ruled a homicide. abc's morgan norwood is here with more. morgan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. yes, really disturbing case here. the widow of d'vontaye mitchell speaking out. she's telling abc news that autopsy report confirmed what she said we see on that newly surveillance hotel video, and she says that her husband was killed by those four hotel employees and we warn you that video this morning is disturbing. this morning, the death of d'vontaye mitchell, the black man seen here dragged and pinned down by hotel staff, officially
7:13 am
ruled a homicide. an autopsy report by the milwaukee county medical examiner determining he died by restraint asphyxia, and toxic effects of cocaine. his family says he was having a mental health episode when he frantically showed up on june 30th at the hyatt regency. this newly released surveillance video by mitchell's attorney showing the disturbing moments leading up to mitchell's death, unleashing another round of heartbreak for his widow. >> it broke something inside of me because it was so brutal, and just what they did to him. it's unbelievable. >> reporter: in this video, you see mitchell running into the gift shop, and eventually into the women's bathroom. the situation escalating as hotel security confront him and begin to escort him out. one hotel employee punching him in the face. before guests jumped into the beating. mitchell then dragged out of the hotel doors. graphic video showing hotel staff pinning down the
7:14 am
43-year-old father for nearly eight minutes as he screamed in agony for help. [ chanting ] >> reporter: mitchell unresponsive when police arrive at the scene. this morning, prosecutors reviewing requests to file felony charges. >> what these videos demonstrate is that he was brutally beaten to death, and, you know, that is so, so wrong, and it was at the hands of hospitality employees who were not trained. that's what they told police. we had no training. >> reporter: and the hotel group says it's doing everything it can to support that police investigation. in a statement saying, it will continue our own investigation which has already resulted in the termination of several associates who violated our policies and procedures. whit? >> whit: all right, morgan norwood for us, thank you. now to a drop in mortgage rates and home prices in many parts of the u.s., bringing some encouraging news for homebuyers. abc's reena roy is here with
7:15 am
more on that, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's no question this has been a tough year for millions of americans hoping to buy a home, but things are looking up right now. new data out from freddie mac shows that the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage has dipped to its lowest level since february. it's at 6.73% and that's down slightly from last week, and this time last year, and as we see that drop, we are also seeing home prices fall. the national median list price dropping about $5,000 from june to july. it's now right under $440,000, certainly welcome news for people who may have been recently locked out of the housing market. so if you have the flexibility location-wise, experts say it's best to shop around in certain markets like austin and san francisco which are seeing those price drops right now, and it is important to note this comes after that weaker than expected jobs report with unemployment ticking up to 4.3%.
7:16 am
that could give the fed incentive to cut interest rates which could bring even more purchasing power for homebuyers as we go into the fall. rachel? >> rachel: it could be good news for homebuyers. reena, thank you. time now for a check of the weather. hey, somara. >> somara: hey, rachel. good morning. there's a few other things i want to talk about when it comes to debby, and that's the storm surge. it's just north of cedar key. that's where we could see 6 to 10 feet of storm surge, but even in highly populated areas like tampa, sarasota, fort myers, we could see 2 to 5 feet of storm surge. this is going to be compounded because we also have the heavy rainfall that's going to be coming down. 4 to 8 inches hitting the florida coastline. look at savannah, georgia, look at charleston. locally 10 to 30 inches of rain. why does that happen? debby crosses it. it makes landfall, and after it does that, it heads monday afternoon for the georgia/florida border, and then by tuesday at 7:00 a.m., it starts to sit spinning right
7:17 am
over brunswick, meandering, taking its time, it's slow-m slow-moving along the coastline. and this means we could be in their potentially historic flooding. up to 30 inches of rain. this is going to lead to a significant and elevated risk for flash flooding throughout the georgia, florida, and south carolina region there. it's important the keep that in mind. that's a look at the forecast. let's take a look a little closer to home. >> somara: and that's a look at your local forecast. so one thing i want to stress this morning is that yes, we have all eyes on florida, and they're going to be hit hard by
7:18 am
this on landfall, but once this crosses over to georgia and south carolina, by the middle of the week, we're going to be hearing a lot of stories about flooding from that area. >> whit: serious impacts, yeah. >> will: and just having it sitting there can always cause some problems. we'll go over to paris now though, shall we? it's been a huge day for team usa. simone biles and katie ledecky, continuing to shine, racking up the gold medals and abc's ines de la cuetara is in paris, covering the games for us. she joins us with the latest. ines, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, will. you could argue saturday was the biggest day of the paris games so far. so many events, so many big names competing, everyone from simone biles to katie ledecky. who i got to see last night, that was incredible. sha'carri richardson also making an appearance. all of them competing for gold. this morning, two of america's greatest outdoing themselves. simone biles and katie ledecky adding more gold to their extensive collections.
7:19 am
just off her historic win in the all-around, biles dominating in the individual vault competition. up against her top competitor, brazil's rebeca andrade, the pressure was palpable, but with the biles 2, the most difficult vault in women's gymnastics history, the ten-time olympic medalist proving why she's the greatest of all time. >> not many people in the world can do it to this level, so it's just kind of, like, once we're out here, the floor is our stage. so it just feels so freeing for us. >> reporter: and when asked if this is the last time we'll be seeing her in vaulting competition, biles saying -- >> you know, never say never. >> reporter: teammate jade carey with one of her best vault performances. winning bronze op on the men's side, breakout star stephen nedoroscik also scoring. a bronze in the pommel horse. in the pool, finishing her paris run strong, katie ledecky racking up another gold in the
7:20 am
800-meter freestyle, solidifying her position as the most decorated american female olympian. her family elated. >> coming into the 800, i just felt a lot of pressure from myself, just from my history in the race, and i knew going into it that it was going to be a really tough race. >> reporter: fellow american kate douglas winning silver in the women's 200-meter individual medley, and in swimming's mixed medley relay, ryan murphy, fink, gretchen walsh, combining their talents for the gold, set a new world record. on the track, sha'carri richardson with a shocking second-place finish in the women's 100-meter final. the gold instead going to st. lucia's julien alfred. the country's first olympic medalist. meanwhile, the women's soccer team winning against japan, clinching a match against germany in the semifinals. and noah lyles finishing second in his heat. we are expecting to see him later today, but guys, with all
7:21 am
our wins this weekend, we are moving up in the gold medal tally. we now have 14 gold medals, just behind china with 16, and we are still leading the way in the total number of medals with 61 medals in all. >> whit: love to see that. ines, thank you so much, and by the way, simone biles and katie ledecky. i had the opportunity to talk to both of them in rio back in 2016, and the fact that they're still here, everything, all the challenges that they've overcome to get here, it's just truly incredible. two of america's greatest olympians still doing it. >> rachel: when you watch it, you can't just help but say, wow. the whole piece, i was, like, wow. it's incredible. >> will: i get touched by the family's reactions. ledecky has won everything forever, and her family is still that excited? >> whit: i'm a sucker for those dad tears. >> rachel: of course you are, whit. >> whit: we got much more ahead. we'll go back to ines in paris to get to know some of the track and field stars. >> rachel: and dr. darien sutton

7:44 am
about this study not only outside the hospital but inside the hospital, in call rooms and visits and even on a public health level. what we're seeing from this new study is a rising rate in cancers for young adults. we're talking about gen x and millennials. we're comparing the generation of baby boomers as an example in this study, for those born in 1990, they saw a two to fourfold increase in pancreatic and kidney cancers and colon cancer compared to those born in 1955. >> will: i'm born in 1992. that certainly perks me up. did the study find a reason? for a rise in these cancers. >> dr. darien: one option or aspect of this is technology. the better we have in imaging and screening, could that mean we're seeing more cancers? that's survival suspicion, however, if that were the only reason, we would see more early stage cancers. the problem -- we're seeing younger people with more late-stage cancers. it has us looking at other variables. that has us looking at other things such as the environment, toxins in food, and relations to obesity. these are all associated with these factors that we're seeing right now. >> whit: and what does this mean
7:45 am
in terms of being proactive about our health? >> dr. darien: the concern here is that a lot of these ages are younger than the minimum screening guidelines. that leaves many people in a precarious position. number one, making sure that you don't avoid symptoms. i talked to patients about this all day every day, and often when these symptoms are persistent, as young adults you have this idea you might be invincible. we have to avoid that notion and also taking advantage of that annual primary care visit. many don't use it, and an estimated of those with insurance, for example, less than 10% of millennials regularly schedule a preventive care, so check with your insurance provider to look for doctors within your coverage. call local hospitals. ask friends for referrals and if you don't have insurance, look for walk-in clinics, and you can also take advantage of telehealth, that might be more affordable and accessible. >> whi dr. darien, thank you so much. >> dr. darien: of course. >> rachel: thank you so much. coming up here on "good morning america," the summer of streaming. the favorite shows we just can't get enough of. coming up here on "good morning america," the summer of streaming. the favorite shows we just can't get enough of. >> rachel: thank you so much. coming up on "good morning america," the summer of streaming. the favorite shows we just can't
