lot of low to mid-30s across much of the bay area. we will have more of those cold mornings ahead going into the weekend. highs in the low 60s. it does stay dry through the middle of next week. mike, you are seeing a gradual build at the bay bridge? >> yeah, the metering lights were activated and finally we see the backup there. folks are held up on westbound 80, and a crash here is on the right shoulder, and that will slow you down a big. highway 4 still slow after a crash and construction cleared late. back to you. >> thank you, mike. next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> a parking lot pothole costs him 2 grand in repairs, but the property owner appeared to be detouring around his claim. i am conmersu

up so filed an incident report and sent a letter demanding a reimbursement for repairs, and we reached out to harrah's and his claim was settled. that's right. harrah's sent vince a check for $2,821. vince may have had another option. his car insurance. if he had collision coverage he could have filed a claim. yes, he may have paid a deductible, and his insurance company would contact harrah's, and it's what insurance companies do. you might want to see if you have collision coverage. check your policy and you might find it right there on the declarations page, usually the first page. or ask your agent. that's why you pay a commission. if you have hit a bump in the

candidates remaining debated, and last night was down to the four candidates that qualified, ron desantis, nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy and chris christie. at this point it's a race between second place between desantis and haley, but second place gets you nothing. a lot of the attacks were on haley who is rising fast, and desantis couldn't get the hang of the debate, and chris christie kept the focus on the leader, donald trump. >> i want you all to picture election day, and you are going to be heading to the polls to vote and that's something donald trump would not be able to do, because he will be convicted of felonies before then and his right to vote will be taken away. look, here's the bottom line, you can boo it all you like and deny reality, but if we deny reality, we will have four more

years of joe biden. >> he's right, if trump is convicted he will not be able to vote, but people can vote for him because there's nothing in the constitution that bars a felon from running for president. that's something the framers never thought about. and then legislation to support the war in ukraine is tied into support for the u.s. border, israel and taiwan. president biden warning time is running out for the men and women fighting in ukraine. >> congress needs to pass supplemental funding for ukraine before they break for the holiday. it's as simple as that. frank, i think it's stunning we have gotten to this point in the
