of americans, especially judging by that stat that you just gave us. but were any minds inside that chamber changed? >> reporter: that he wants the question. republicans right now, for the most part, the undecided republicans are holding their cards close to their chest. we have to wait and see what happens with today's vote. we do know other minds were changed, including the american bar association, which had endorsed kavanaugh. they pulled that back and said instead of a vote, there needs to be a full fbi investigation. we'll see if that has any impact on those republican undecides. reggie, jessica. lana zak, abc 7 news. thank you. reaction to the hearing has been pouring in on social media. president trump said kavanaugh's testimony was, quote, powerful, honest, and riveting. he calls this process a total sham and an effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. alyssa milano was in the hearing to show support for dr. blasey

kavanaugh's anger, that's how someone who had been falsely accused would react. it's also how someone caught in a lie would react. >> and that is mark osler, a law professor from st. paul, minnesota, and kavanaugh's former classmate at yale. he said he is glad the american bar association is calling for an investigation. >> on the peninsula, some of ford's neighbors rallied outside to support her outside of city hall. nearly 150 people were at that rally organized by a group of palo alto moms. they wanted to ensure that blasey ford wasn't alone as she told her story. >> we all look out for each other's kids. we bike to school together and go to dog parks together. this rally is just an extension of that. it is just an extension of our community showing support. >> when you're supporting christine, what you're really supporting is women and women's rights. >> people also wrote messages

of encouragement on giant pieces of paper that will be be delivered to blasey ford. >> the group that runs the national sexual assault hotline was flooded with calls during and after blasey ford's testimony r.a.i.n.n., it was experiencing unprecedented wait times for their online chats. so the group is encouraging people to call instead. 800-656-4673. and of course if you're in immediate danger, call 911. we have resources on our website to help you take action and find your ally, along with other links on sexual assault and harassment. go to abc7news.com/takeaction. a fix is in the works, but you're going to have to deal with another day of traffic issues around the salesforce transit center. >> the brand-new $2 billion bus station crack indeed a couple of places. amy hollyfield is live in san francisco.
