now. >> thank you. was it a campaign ender or just a bump in the road? bay area democrats are trying to gauge the fallout from last night's presidential debate. >> it was very, very hard to watch. >> that was the overwhelming sentiment after last night's presidential debate with some democrats hitting the panic button, but are they ready to call for a new nominee? >> based on yesterday's performance, we're going to lose november and that's a sad reality. huge crowds pack oakland city hall as the city struggles to balance its budget with no easy solutions. >> not cut the police force. that's what we need most. >> is there an alternative? have you got any? can we go to disneyland? as more than 200 happy couples celebrate their love and pride by tying the knot -- >> most people put this in a drawer and never think about it. >> one of the first couples to get married at san francisco's city hall 20 years ago reflects on how far the lgbtq community

has come. >> but for us this is a treasure. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> thanks for joining us at 6:00. in the last 24 hours since the first presidential debate, democrats here in the bay area and around the country are having a lot of conversations about president biden's performance with reports ranging from concern to full-on panic about their choice for the top of the ticket. for his part, president biden was back on the campaign trail trying to reassure voters at a rally in north carolina that he acknowledged his stumbles, at the same time dismissing any speculation he would or should drop out of the race. >> i know i'm not a young man, state the obvious. i don't speak as smoothly as i used to. i don't debate as well as i used to. i would not be running again if i didn't believe with all my heart and soul i can do

this job. >> so you listened to president biden's round about interviews the day after the night before. lauren toms in studio now. you've talked to a lot of bay area biden supporters. i find it interesting bay area democrats are talking quite openly about another plan. >> the consensus overall is the president did not do enough to put voters' minds at ease about his age and cognitive ability to do the job. we should note, former president trump did make my misleading or outright inaccurate statements last night, but it's also about optics and today i spoke with some biden supporters who worry about the damage that was done. viewers of thursday night's presidential debate are experiencing a political hangover. >> it was very, very hard to watch. >> top democratic donor and

biden supporter mark buellep watched. >> look, if we finally beat medicare. >> i think joe biden has been an excellent president. the question on everybody's mind is should he have signed up for a second term and since he decided to do it, the expectation is that he can be a very competitive candidate and i don't think last night demonstrated that. >> but following biden's debate performance he says the party should make room for a younger candidate. >> reporter: do you think somebody else should step in and relieve the president? >> personally, yes. >> buelle says have a strong group on deck if they choose to prop up another candidate, at the top of the list kamala harris and gavin newsom. >> i've known gavin's family all my life. i was kamala harris' finance chair for her

first and second race and chaired her senate campaign. the sooner biden makes a decision were he to make the decision not to run, it would give five people that i could think off the top of my head a chance to mount a campaign and tell the american people where they stand. >> both newsom and harris quickly defended the president after the debate. >> he delivered on substance. donald trump was a disaster. >> in a real leader character matters more than style. >> young democrats are also concerned about the viability of the democratic ticket heading into november. jeffrey leads the harvey milk democratic club and says the lack of energy in the biden campaign is disheartening. >> based on yesterday's performance which we cannot unwatch, we're going to lose november and that's a sad reality. >> chairman of the san francisco republican party john dennis says biden's performance only tees up trump for another victory. >> at the risk of being

overconfident and i wasn't terribly confident prior to the debate, i think that donald trump made be on a glide path right now to success and victory in november. i don't care who they put on the ballot in november. >> for buelle the stakes are only growing, but his commitment to the democratic party is unshaken, be it for biden or an alternative. >> this is the most important election of our lifetime and i think democracy itself is on the ballot and there's no question in my mind that trump has to be stopped at all costs. >> so many conversations happening throughout the united states right now. we should note this was an early debate. june was a lot earlier than normal by biden design. they wanted that. so the next question would be if democrats want to replace biden, obviously not an easy task or chore. >> not easy at all, juliette, but i want to be clear we still

appear a ways away from that despite the noise today. biden has repeatedly shut down any idea of stepping down, but if it got to a replacement strategy, there isn't currently a procedure in place to replace a candidate before the convention in august. if he were to drop out after being formally nominated by the party, the dnc chair could call a special meeting to select a replacement of roughly 500 members of one thing we know for sure is the presidential race today is surely not what it was yesterday. >> i like the word you used, noise, quite a bit of noise and it's going to continue. thank you so much. as for former president trump, he's feeling a lot more confident about his performance last night despite criticism for the false statements he made during the debate. >> we had a big victory against a man that really is looking to destroy our country. he's the

worst. he's the most corrupt, the most incompetent president in the history of our country. >> the second and likely final presidential debate will be in september. the supreme court came down with some major rulings today, including one that has major implications here in the bay area when it comes to homeless encampments. anne makovec is here to break down what all of this means. >> something that a lot of bay areas have struggled with for years. now it could be easier for cities to clear encampments. the case centers around whether cities can ticket or arrest people for sleeping in public places. a lower court banned the practice unless the people were offered shelter. today the six conservative justices on the high court overturned that decision ruling that anti-camping ordinances do not violate the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. now cities across the bay area are deciding how

this will change how they manage homeless encampments, especially in san francisco where this has been a real hot political debate. >> ask any number of city workers what needs to happen, what's appropriate on one block, on one street is different from what happens elsewhere. >> there's really policy choices about how comfortable we are with our public spaces as they are now, how willing we are to lean into a law enforcement response to address it. >> mayor london breed saying in a statement in part, "we will continue to offer shelter, but we will not allow those who reject offers of help to remain where they are. those who refuse our help or who already have shelter will not be allowed to camp on our streets." >> it's totally [ bleep ]. they go up and want you to throw away all your personal property and like drop everything and go with them and go to like a dorm where they're just stacking. it's like a mental house in there, for real. >> that is the reaction from a lot of people on the street.

homeless advocates say this ruling amounts to the criminalization of poverty. the coalition on homelessness which has sued the city over its policies says they will continue that fight. >> anne makovec, thank you. oakland city leaders have just two days to balance the budget before the 1st of july as they face a historic deficit of $177 million the next fiscal year. it could be a long night at city hall. da lin is there where it's packed with people concerned about these deep cuts to services. >> reporter: 30 minutes before the friday afternoon budget meeting a long line of oaklanders waited in front of city hall, many concerned about cuts to city services that would affect them. >> we matter. don't close our city centers. >> reporter: the city opened two overflow rooms. one of the people who couldn't make it to the meeting and followed the issue closely was oakland

business owner tina sullivan. >> i would definitely say do not cut the police force. that's what we need most. >> reporter: she runs phoenix optical by herself. her dog named bandit is her security guard. >> keeping my company and making me feel safe. i work here alone. >> reporter: she's not alone. many people who attended the budget meeting want them to avoid cutting from police and fire. what about cutting the police department or the fire department? >> no. we need that. we need the police and the fire. >> reporter: but the council says they have to cut from public safety because that takes up more than half of the budget. the police chief says as of friday, they have 709 police officers. one option is to cut the force down to 678 officers. that's if they can get a one-time money from selling the coliseum complex. if they can't get the money from the land sale in time, the other option is to cut the police force down to 610 officers. the police chief says with dozens of officers on

leave they would be down to 500 something officers. he said that would hurt his ability to cover patrol shifts and provide basic services and many people say that would be dangerous. >> the response from the police department, it's not responding quick enough and fast enough with the side shows and other things that go on. >> reporter: the city is proposing to close a handful of fire stations and reduce hours to libraries and senior centers. >> they need to cut upper management. that's everything, positions. >> reporter: others want to save youth programs and recreation centers. >> you have to cut carefully from the police in that you would not have any sworn officers at the desk. >> reporter: the council members admit all the options are bad. the budget deficit is roughly $177 million. >> is there an alternative? you have fairy dust? can we go to disneyland and ask for some fairy dust? >> reporter: tina says no miracle, just a hard reality.

>> i hate to see it so chaotic. >> reporter: more than 100 people signed up to speak for public comment. the vote may be delayed to tuesday, july 2nd. still ahead, they were one of the first gay couples to get married in san francisco. >> in addition to our personal vows, we vowed we're going to do everything we can in our power to make this a reality for everybody. a new bill to allow restaurants to keep charging added fees passes the legislature and is waiting for the governor's signature, why the napa state senator who

it's been 20 years since same-sex marriage was legalized in san francisco and every year since during pride hundreds of couples have come to city hall to commit their lives to one another. today one of the first couples to tie the knot in one of those ceremonies is now renewing their vows. our amanda hari caught up with them as they celebrated two decades of love. >> exchanging rings just like other couples do. i pronounce you legally married spouses for life. and the chills just went

up and down my body. >> reporter: john lewis says in that moment he felt like the government was finally treating him like a human being and honoring his love for his partner, stuart gaffney. that was 20 years ago. this pride they'll solidify their commitment by getting married again. >> i was truly happy on that day. >> renewing our vows, it just takes us back to that place in time, and when i think about pledging my love and commitment to this man, i remember the first time saying those words in city hall. >> reporter: when the two met in 1987, they didn't know if they would ever be able to marry. >> it was a dream, but a distant dream. >> reporter: on february 12th, 2004, that dream would unexpectedly come true. lewis was at the right place at the right time, city hall. >> i got to the rally and i learned something extraordinary. san francisco

had just burst open the doors for loving committed same-sex couples to get married and i was literally shocked. >> reporter: he immediately called gaffney, who was at work. >> it was the most urgent wedding proposal you've ever heard. get to city hall now, now, now! you can see we're kind of starry-eyed and we're actually better dressed today than we were on this very spontaneous wedding day, but we just couldn't be happier. >> reporter: just six months later the supreme court of california deemed that marriage void. they were finally able to get married again in june of 2008. >> this is our wedding certificate. most people put there in a drawer somewhere and never think about it, but for us this is a treasure. >> reporter: over the past two decades the couple have continued to be leaders in the marriage equality movement, even starting a nonprofit to

educate people on the importance of lgbtq+ marriages in the united states and around the world. >> in addition to our personal vows, we vowed we're going to do everything we can in our power to make this a reality for everybody who wants it. >> reporter: they say the fight is not over, but they'll continue to celebrate the wins, including the right to renew their vows and love freely and openly. >> be sure to watch our special "hope love pride" at 10:00 a.m. this sunday on our sister station pix+ and streaming on the free cbs news app. you can catch up on all of our pride month stories on our website, kpix.com. on to a bill banning hidden service fees with a special exemption for restaurants is awaiting the governor's signature after passing the state senate. north bay state senator bill dodd worked on the original bill to ban these extra fees at hotels, airlines,

and other businesses from charges these junk fees. he said he sympathized with restaurant owners still recovering from covid when they asked to be exempt. so did most senators. only one voted against the bill. >> because they've seen what the restaurants have gone through as well, but they also want to make sure that the restaurants do it right and they do advertise any fees on the menu so people can look on the menus and determine what the charges are going to be. >> with governor newsom's signature the law would go into effect on monday. pretty nice weather for the last weekday of june and the weekend's looking good, but next week the heat will build, already an excessive heat watch for most of the bay area except the immediate coastline from tuesday through friday. talking about how long and

we've made it to our first alert forecast in the newscast. what happens next week in the east bay? >> our air conditioning bills go up. >> ours went out. we had to get a whole new unit. >> ours went out a couple weeks ago. >> did you get one in time? >> it was a blown fuse. >> it was an easy fix. >> no, it wasn't. i had to

tear the whole thing apart to get to the one fuse blown, so we were out it four or five nights, not great. >> i don't know if we'll get it in time by next week. >> for your sake, i hope so. >> i'll knock on your door, hang out? >> let's get into the details how the weather will change. we're in for the inland heat especially next week heading towards fourth of july weekend. let's look at the big picture pattern, a slow warm-up this weekend. you get to ease into it, but by early next week that's when the heat will take over. the heat dome is getting closer to the bay by monday and sets up directly overhead tuesday and wednesday. temperatures now, it's warm inland, but not crazy hot, nice view from salesforce tower looking to the east, 90 degrees the hotspot in concord, not bad for late june, 87 livermore, 60s in san francisco, low 70s across the bay in oakland. through tonight we'll see fog try to get its act back together and spread across the

bay. where it makes its way into the inland valleys, it's not going to last long. it backs up to the coast very rapidly and pulling away from the coast late morning and early afternoon, so cool sunshine along the coast saturday afternoon. forecast low temperatures tonight will dip down to pretty much normal, 50s for most of the bay area, upper 50s in san jose, 60 degrees in antioch. that's the only spot we're forecasting temperatures to stay at or above 60. everybody else pretty much dips down to the 50s. we do have one spot, the usual cool location, dropping down into the upper 40s in petaluma to begin the day saturday. then our temperatures warm up. let's look at the dog walking forecast for tomorrow as we do every friday. we have an adoptable dog bringing you the dog walking forecast for saturday. this is scout who is adoptable from the east county animal shelter in dublin. probably too warm in the afternoon for him to spend a

lot of time outside, but i'm sure he would be happy to receive forever family applicants in the ac tomorrow afternoon. other inland temperatures are a bit warmer, a mix of 80s and 90s inland in the east bay, mostly 80s in the santa clara valley, mostly 80s for the north bay, 90s in santa rosa, 60s and 70s around the bay, low to mid-60s around the coast. the heat builds early next week. we'll be fine for stern grove. low 60s at noon as the gates open for the second concert of this year's series, mid-60s during the afternoon. as the heat builds, we go from a moderate heat risk monday to a high heat risk on a widespread basis tuesday and even pockets of that very high or extreme heat risk where temperatures could approach 110 degrees by wednesday afternoon, likely the hottest day during this stretch of very hot weather just in time for early july. temperatures back down very slightly upper 90s by the

fourth of july and for the day after on friday, but it's going to be a hot independence day weekend. around the bay temperatures go from the 70s into the 80s which isn't that warm, but again, an offshore breeze could kick in and push those temperatures up to near 90 degrees. if that offshore breeze develops, it could push temperatures along the coast farther into the 70s and any offshore breeze would have an impact on the fire threat which at the moment is going to be high enough with temperatures over 100 degrees. >> yes. >> offshore wind would make that even worse. >> thank you. still ahead, we'll have a look at the first giant pandas to arrive in the u.s. since china took them back in 2019, what it means for the effort to it's time to get away and cash in at cache creek casino resort. to rock and to roll. to go all out or go all in with four stars and rising stars.

big crowds came out to the san diego zoo after their two new giant pandas arrived from china yesterday. visitors will have to wait just a tad. the pandas will spend the next few weeks in quarantine to get used to their new home. the zoo put out this video of the 5 and 4-year-old pandas munching down on some bamboo and exploring their new habitat. >> i was hoping they were already here. >> i like their spots kind of things around their eyes. >> they're really cute and fluffy. >> i've seen them on like social media and they're especially cute and real funny and they do lots of like -- i don't know. they're kind of lazy, but they're also real

cute, so it doesn't matter. >> so cute. think are the first new pandas to arrive in the u.s. in 21 years. the national zoo in washington, d.c. and the san francisco zoo are both expecting to get their own new giant pandas sometime in the near future. san francisco signed off on a fundraising plan to host them, but an exact date hasn't been decided on, fingers crossed. wouldn't that be great to have those little guys in our own backyard here in san francisco? they have an appetite. that's a good thing. cbs evening news is next. local news continues on our streaming service cbs news bay area. we'll be right back here in 30 minutes at 7:00. we'll see you then. >> margaret: tonight, the candidates go out on the trail after a historic debate. president biden's campaign in crisis mode as he tries to tamp down democratic party panic about his performance. >> folks, i don't walk as easy as i used to. i don't debate as well as i
