ambassador congratulated but did not endorse her former boss. mr. trump posted on social media saying haley had gotten trounced and invited her supporters to join him. president biden quickly pointed to past trump comments that anyone who contributed to haley's campaign would be barred from the maga camp. let's bring in our political analyst. we have a rematch biden against trump there are plenty of democrats who don't have faith in joe biden and republicans who don't have faith in donald trump. how did we get here? that is an hour long debate. >> this is the second time in history this happened in 1892 when benjamin harrison who tried to get his seat back. >> why we like having you around. >> i fill my head with trivia. cynically looking don't americans deserve something better if the polling indicates that we don't like either

candidate here we are. >> each party had the chances. the primaries were open and this is the way it wound up. this is politics. and this is the system. but what we do know at this time is that both of these people, both of these people are knowns we know who trump is. we know who biden is we know her strengths and weaknesses we've seen them both in the presidency. it. >> it appears and feels like donald trump has the momentum going into the election. do you see it that way. >> he does at the moment. he has been on the trail and biden hasn't. he has been able to make his case and biden has been in the west wing doing whatever he does. you will see a change whether it's effective i don't know. biden will get on the stump and it begins tomorrow night with the state of the union address and from there on you will get a better picture seeing them. >> watch saturday night live and "fox news" and talk about

biden's age. can he flip the script and embrace it and say here i am this is what i do, and i am going to make gaffes here? >> i think he can. look, his age is not that different from trump's age. a lot of it has to do with the way trump looks and the way biden looks. suffering from a little bit of artery in his back and stiff walk and whatnot. the fact is these guys i think downstream will be judged not just for the way they look or the way they walk but what they say and do. >> let's go to the state level. last night interesting adam schiff and steve garvey the top two advanced to november which is great for the republicans and steve garvey and now the real work begins. can steve garyvie win in november? we have not had a republican since pete wilson. >> not that he is just a republican male a novice. he may have been a great baseball player. but he is a novice when it comes

to politics. he not held any office. and you've seen him in the debates how difficult it is for him to get anything out. he will get better on the stump but schiff is a pro. so it's going to be a problem that way. but, the other way to handle it is, i'm tired of everybody, tired of any incumbent i want a fresh face i will take garvey that is the way i would play it. >> that would be something to watch this development. >> it will be a good one. >> thank you, larry. a date is set the supreme court will hear arguments on former president trump's immunity case. it's all linked to trump's federal election interference trial he claims he is immune because he was president at the time. two lower courts rejected that argument. so he took this to the supreme court. now, the court said it will hear the immunity case on april 25. but it could take months for the justices to issue an opinion. if they decide that he is not

immune trump could be on trial before the november presidential election. the ntsb on the hotseat in our nation's capital. they grilled the chairwoman of the national transportation safety board and asked about investigations the agency is conducting, including the doors on the boeing max planes after a door plug blew out of a flight causing the emergency. >> boeing has not provided us with the documents and information we have requested numerous times over the past few months, specifically are with respect to opening and closing and removal of the door and the team that does that work at the facility. the chairwoman says the agency is trying to find out what caused the incident and that investigators are now at boeing interviewing managers and workers. house republicans and democrats working together introducing a new bill today

off with a look at storm ranger. and a lit of activity through the east and south bay. there's no lightning strikes. i'm not seeing hail but it was slow going on that early afternoon commute. if you hit some of the downpours you know how dangerous it was. reducing visibility down to a couple of feet in some cases. right now we have moderate rainfall that is overhayward. that will continue through fremont and looking at showers in san jose through 6:14. as we roll through tomorrow's forecast we are in for major changes. it has everything to do with this area high pressure because it's taking the storm track and it's lifting it off to the north. no way we get into any rainfall through the day tomorrow. not only dry and sunshine is coming back. i know a lot of you are looking forward to the sunshine. the only thing we have to get over first is the chance of a little bit of patchy fog in the

early morning commute. and we will again on the cold side with the 40s. san francisco 46 and the chilliest in the north bay at 41. daytime highs will be warming up. 65 towards napa. 62 in oakland. low 60s san jose. and 58 in half-moon bay and 61 in san francisco. looking good for tomorrow. now, beyond this, i wanted to get you into a 10-day forecast. and that temperature trend is going to go for us. we bump up here into friday the 67 in napa we'll cool off this weekend with a chance of showers. and numbers right now looking to hit up into the 70s maybe starting on wednesday and for the following weekend 76 on saturday. 76 on sunday. make your plans up into wine country now. it looks pretty perfect the way we're seeing it. we can sit back and relax and enjoy the weather with sunshine

and warmer temperatures. because our rain season is doing incredible. up 5.9 inches in san francisco and three inch surplus in san jose. still a deficit in oakland. we can makeup for that with additional storms and through the sierra snowpack northern sierra 112, and southern sierra 93% of normal and that snowpack provides a third of the state's water up ply. on the seven-day forecast two days two in a row of sun coming in thursday, friday. spotty showers saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday. and we should start to get into that drying and warming trend into next wednesday. we will be up around 69 wednesday. but, look, hang on. this weekend we have the showers, the following weekend, it looks pretty incredible right
