matt? >> the endorsement will take place shortly at 11:30. no surprise he is backing allies on city council. but will it have an impact this november? politics is often about relationships and what better relationship for a mayoral candidate to have than a man who received 75% of the support in the last election in 2010, sam reed. he showed his hand after the primary election. >> the battle lines are pretty well drawn. it's going in the direction that allows us to restore services as we are doing for the last three years or going back to the old method of cutting services every year to balance the budget. >> cortez also picked up big investments. firefighter unions are backing the santa clara supervisor. supporters at south bay labor council say today's announcement from reed was expected. >> so it is in surprise that

almost 8% in the primary. however mayor reed said 60% of votes went to candidates who voted on fiscal reforms. >> matt, thank you. still ahead on abc news at 11:00, troubling new details about the truck driver involved in the crash that critically injured comedian tracy morgan. and -- >> when are you going to decide whether you are running for president? >> will she or won't she? how did hillary clinton respond to diane sawyer's questions about possible presidential bids. plus with cash-grab
