hey, good morning, everybody. we're going to begin with the breaking news, the death of supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. overnight an outpouring of praise and respect from presidents and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle as vigils were held at the supreme court and in san francisco for the justice who became both a major legal and cultural figure. and this morning, the flag standing at half-staff outside the supreme court building. >> the political battle over filling the supreme court vacancy already brewing. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying a trump nominee will receive a vote by the full senate despite ginsburg's death coming weeks before the election. back in 2016 senate republicans blocked president obama's supreme court nominee announced more than seven months before that presidential election. senator amy klobuchar joins us in just a few minutes but our team coverage begins here with

abc's national correspondent terry moran at the supreme court with a look back at justice ginsburg's life and legacy. terry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. what a life it was, what a legacy it was. the flags here at half-staff. people still gathering here in the just after dawn light at the supreme court. justice ruth ginsberg one of those americans, and there aren't many really who, through her force of character and brilliant intellect able to understand the bedrock constitutional ideals, equality and liberty. she was born into a very different america where liberty and basic opportunity and human dignity for women looked very, very different than they do today, and that change came about in large part because of ruth bader ginsburg. her character, her intellect, her fierce determination to see that words equality and liberty made real for americans changed america. overnight crowds gathered on the

steps of the supreme court to mourn the passing of justice ruth bader ginsburg at 87 years old. so many young people there saying good-bye to a most improbable pop icon. [ crowd chanting "rbg" ] >> reporter: ginsburg dealt with complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer and spent her last moments surrounded by family at her home in washington, d.c. tributes pouring in overnight. speaker of the house nancy pelosi writing, every woman and girl and therefore every family in america has benefited from her brilliance. bill clinton, the president who appointed her, saying, her landmark opinions moved us closer to a more perfect union. ginsburg's life was astonishing. >> justice ginsburg -- barris giant of american law and american life. >> all i ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks. >> reporter: the notorious rbg she came to be known by a younger generation, only the

second woman named to the supreme court, serving there for more than a quarter century. her path to the highest court in the land was not easy as one of the few women at harvard law school she faced discrimination after graduating from columbia in the 1950s. >> she was one of nine women in a class of 500. she was tied for first in her class, and the big new york city law firms just weren't hiring women. >> reporter: so ginsburg turned to civil rights law and she engineered a brilliant legal strategy arguing and winning five cases before the supreme court fighting discrimination against women in the workplace and elsewhere in society. ginsburg went on to serve as a federal appeals court judge in the nation's capital until that life-changing nomination when by president clinton in 1993. >> i am proud to nominate to the supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg. >> reporter: she quickly began se includi the 1996 sk dne onl

study there.olicy at the e door >> i know that there were some people who did not react well to the change, and my response to this was wait and see. >> reporter: while on the supreme court justice ginsberg was a consistently liberal voice on issues like voting rights and abortion. >> this is something central to a woman's life, to her dignity. it's a decision that she must make. >> reporter: she lived her ideals too, becoming the first supreme court justice to perform a same sex marriage ceremony. her tenure was not without controversy but justice ginsburg won the respects of many conservatives with her grass book law and forcefully crafted opinions. on the court she formed an unlikely long-time close friendship with a strong opponent, justice antonin scalia. as the court shifted to the right, her fierce dissent echoed across the country and her story

inspired generations. from her fitness routines to her famous collar she would wear in court. with the passing of ruth bader ginsburg an era comes to a close where liberals and progressives in america look to this court to help work social change. that is likely over. what the next era looks like will be very different one way or another but first there will be a battle for it. guys. >> terry moran for us there, thank you so much. with just 45 days until the presidential election, that battle terry was referencing, the senate majority leader is promising to vote on a trump nominee to fill the supreme court vacancy. abc's senior congressional correspondent mary bruce is in d.c. with the political lines being drawn and the impact it could have on the presidential race. good morning, mary. >> reporter: eva, good morning. there is no question the death of justice ginsburg is an election year game changer. this is a scenario the democrats

have been dreading. filling this seat is a fight that republicans are likely to wage with everything they've got so now in the midst of an already bitterly partisan election capitol hill is bracing for a monumental clash. overnight president trump reacting to justice ginsburg's death on the sidelines of his campaign rally, caught off guard as reporters told him the stunning news. >> i didn't know that. i just -- you're telling me now for the first time. she led an amazing life. what else can you say? she was an amazing woman. whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. i'm actually saddened to hear that. >> reporter: with just 123 days until inauguration, sources tell us the president is expected to put forth a nominee to fill ginsburg's seat in the coming days. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying in a statement, president trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the united states senate. critics say it's a total reversal from mcconnell's

position in 2016 when he famously refused to even consider president obama's pick, merrick garland, to fill justic february of an election year. >> this vacancy should not be filled by this lame duck president. the american people are perfectly capable of having their say, their say, on this issue. so let's give them a voice. >> reporter: joe biden overnight saying republicans should stick to that argument and let the election determine what comes next. >> we should focus on the loss of the justice and her enduring legacy. let me be clear that the voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider. >> reporter: but mcconnell says this situation is different, stressing that unlike in 2016, republicans now control both the senate and white house.

earlier this year discussing this possible situation, mcconnell made his position crystal clear. >> if you're asking me a hypothetical about whether this republican senate would confirm a member of the supreme court to a vacancy that created this year -- >> before november. >> yeah, we would fill it. >> reporter: democrats have blasted that argument as hypocritical but have very little power here. all eyes are now on a handful of moderate republican senators who may break ranks. one, lisa murkowski, said yesterday before ginsburg's death she would not vote to confirm a supreme court nominee. republican senator susan collins of maine has also hinted she might oppose reportedly saying recently she thinks it's too close to the election to try and fill this seat. and, mary, we've learned the president already has a short list of possible nominees to fill ginsberg's seat? >> reporter: sources tell us that the president does have a very short list and that federal

appeals court judge amy coney barrett is seen as a leading contender. she is someone that the white house has explored in the past and a favorite of religious conservatives, a key sector of the president's base. for now though the white house says they are focused on honoring ginsburg's legacy but the president has made very clear in the past he is likely to move very quickly to try to fill this vacancy, dan? >> mary bruce on capitol hill, thank you. let's bring in someone who will be a key player in the fight over when and how to fill this vacancy, senator amy klobuchar, a democrat. she sits on the senate judiciary committee and she joins us from her home state of minnesota in minneapolis specifically. senator, thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. let me start on a personal note. what did justice ruth bader ginsburg mean to you personally? >> oh, she was an icon, a hero. she was someone that made every young lawyer remember back then, i think anything and everything was possible. she took on cases when people

said a man should take on this case. even when it was a case on women's rights. she ended up on the the court she argued in front of where she wrote these magical dissents and also as you just pointed out on the show made sure that women could be admitted into military academies and i think the most amazing thing about her is she became cool in her 80s, an international rock star known as the notorious rbg, so famous that my daughter, when she was in college, we had a picture with the justice at an event and she came up to me afterwards, my daughter, and said, mom, i want to put this on my facebook page. if you don't mind i'm going to cut you out of it because i just want to have a photo with the notorious rbg, so she literally made justice cool for so many young people. >> incredible life and an incredible career and we're honoring that this morning but we also have to talk about the politics. let me ask you, as a member of the judiciary committee what is

your response to the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, saying there will be a vote on a trump nominee? >> as joe biden said, the american people should decide this, who their president is, and the president should pick the nominee. and i think it was leader schumer who quoted mitch mcconnell's exact words from that time in 2016. this is what he said, mitch mcconnell, the american people should have a voice in the selection of their next supreme court justice. therefore -- this is mitch mcconnell -- this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. and so despite what he may say now, every single one of my republican colleagues, as you pointed out, lisa murkowski who i have a lot of respect for, they are going to have to look in their soul at what they said back then. justice must prevail. and that was her last wish, a justice that loved the court, loved our democracy, friends of people that had different views of hers like justice scalia.

her last, to quote her fervent wish, was that the next president decide her replacement. >> democrats like you can pound the table about allegations of hypocrisy but you can't do much to stop him from moving forward with a vote unless members of his own republican party, the aforementioned murkowski and collins, maybe gardner or romney, refuse to push forward with a vote or don't vote for confirmation. do you think that's likely to happen? if it goes to a vote, will it succeed? >> this is the moment in time that they're all going to have to race a reckoning. we've all seen this extraordinary emotional reaction to justice ginsburg's death from democrats and republicans, from young people across this country. so right now they're going to have to listen to the people. they are independently elected in their state.dn't jus the bidding of mitch mcconnell. they have to decide based on their own integrity and future

of our country what they do. that's what we should be focusing on now. >> so much on the line this morning. senator amy klobuchar, democrat from minnesota, thank you so much for coming on the show this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you, dan. >> whit, over to you. of course, we will have much more on the passing of ruth bader ginsburg in our next half hour right here on "gma." but we do have a lot of other big stories to get to this morning. so we'll turn to the raging wildfires in california forcing new evacuations in los angeles county as firefighters mourn the loss of one of their own now. abc's zohreen shah has the latest on the ground there. this fire season has been relentless. >> reporter: good morning, whit. it really has. the road behind me right now is blocked from cars coming in, officials urging people to get out. this is one of several fires threatening homes and lives. overnight the bobcat fire near los angeles exploding in size to over 70,000 acres, destroying structures, homeowners desperately hoping to protect their homes.

containment still under 20%. further east, the 20,000-acre eldorado fire which was accidentally started during a gender reveal party, now claiming the life of a firefighter. at least 35 others have lost their lives to wildfires in the west just though rain in oregon is a break from flames and smoke, they are now bracing for flash floods and mudslides. and then late last night, a 4.5 earthquake jolted south almonte jolting many angelenos awake. there were two aftershocks. a seismologist says she felt it. things flew off my walls and lasted for a good several seconds. mother nature just pummeling this region. eva. >> zohreen shah for us, thank you so much. breaking news in rochester, new york where police say two people were shot to death during a backyard party. officers responding to the shooting before 12:30 this morning saying they saw approximately 100 people fleeing that scene. a man and woman both dead and at least 14 other people were injured.

no one is in custody but police reminding everyone that large gatherings like this are illegal. we turn to the latest on the pandemic. the u.s. is now closing in on 200,000 coronavirus deaths, 200,000 of our fellow americans. more than a third of americans know somebody who has been hospitalized or died from covid-19 and this morning, a new report calls covid-19 the largest mass fatality incident in the modern history of new york city. abc's trevor ault has more. >> reporter: this morning, president trump offering an ambitious timeline in the race for a vaccine. >> hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month and we expect to have enough vaccines for every american by april. >> reporter: just days ago the president's own cdc director said he didn't expect a vaccine to be generally available until the late second or third quarter of next year. president trump says the administration will start distributing a vaccine within 24 hours of its approval but millions may not want it because

of widespread concerns about the vaccine development process. that's as the cdc has reversed course on testing again, now saying anyone in contact with someone who's infected should get tested regardless of their own symptoms. across the u.s. this weekend, big developments for businesses and potential crowds. las vegas bars getting the green light to re-open. >> we'll be greeting our guests at the door and taking their temperatures. >> reporter: some florida bars celebrating octoberfest at 50% capacity. >> if you're not seated you've got to have your mask on. >> reporter: right now 11 states and puerto rico are seeing covid-19 deaths rise as the virus is still a global problem. and now widespread restrictions are being rolled out across europe. once again, spain has brought back military tents for an overflow of covid patients and london's mayor will not rule out another lockdown. eva. >> trevor ault for us, thank you

turning out here overnight to the steps of the supreme court bringing flowers and candles to honor her legacy. ruth bader ginsburg said never in her wildest imagination did she think she would turn into a pop culture icon. she was known as the notorious rbg and inspiring a generation that she paved the way for. at just 5'1" ruth bader ginsburg was a liberal giant, a political force unexpectedly turned pop culture icon. >> it is beyond extraordinary that i am nearly 84 years old and everyone wants to take a picture with me. >> reporter: her image larger than life. those frilly lace collars and oversized glasses plastered on t-shirts, posters, even tattooed on arms. and on halloween, parents dressing their kids as ruth baby ginsburg. >> i'm never going to step down now. you can't get rid of me. >> reporter: her initials became an internet sensation, notorious rbg.

>> people ask me, don't you feel uncomfortable being with a name like the notorious b.i.g. why should i feel uncomfortable? we have a lot in common. >> reporter: she rarely missed a day on the bench. >> ten, nine, eight -- >> reporter: or at the gym, still sticking to those workouts after receiving radiation for a pancreatic tumor. her pioneering rise to become the court's second female justice celebrated on the big screen. >> you don't get to tell me when to quit. >> reporter: it was that tireless fight for equal rights and those pointed words, i dissent, that inspired a generation. >> her very example of being somebody who was unflaggingly committed to her job and the cause of equality and justice, she had millions of people who looked up to her. millions of people looked up to justice ginsburg for being such a champion for equality both on the bench and off. >> reporter: this morning, ruth bader ginsburg remembered just as she hoped. >> how do you most want to be remembered?

>> as someone who did the best she could with whatever talent she had to make things a little better for people less fortunate, to move society along a democratic path. >> reporter: ruth bader ginsburg said she was often asked when she thought there would be enough women on the supreme court. her answer, when there are nine, one woman for every single seat on the bench. eva. >> rachel scott for us. joining us now is jeffrey rosen, president of the national constitution center and author of the recent book "conversations with rbg, justice ruth bader ginsburg, on life, love, liberty and law." good morning to you. thanks for being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> you spent a lot of time talking to her. tell us about the ruth bader ginsburg you got to know.

>> she was the most focused, productive, empathetic hero i've ever had the privilege of knowing and it was remarkable to talk to her. in these conversations, there were long pauses between questions and the answers and you had to wait in silence because you knew she would say something extraordinary. someone who did the best she could with the talents given her is just one example of how she used every single moment of the day for productive work so that she could help others and in the process, she conformed america. it's still stunning to think that even yesterday we had with us one of the greatest advocates for constitutional change in american history. this is one of the most significant historical figures of our time as chief justice roberts said in his statement, but for those of us who had the

great privilege of knowing her and meeting her 30 years ago as a young law clerk, we bonded and she said it took her outside of herself to think about her briefs, and she bonded with the music and inspiration for all americans and truly important for all of to us unite around her inspirational example today of using every moment of the day productively so that you can serve something larger than yourself and in the process include the world. >> she was very aware of the balance of the current court and her role in that. what do you think her death means for what the court will look like going forward? >> well, of course, it's a great tragedy. she passed at this polarized time and her granddaughter

reports that one of her last wishes, she called it a fervent wish, that she would be replaced after the presidential election. that's because i hope that people who hear that last wish from her granddaughter will hear that not as a partisan statement but a statement about the legitimacy of the court. justice ginsburg understood if it were to be filled the under these circumstances it would hurt the court's nonpartisan legitimacy and to think of it as just a political body and not knocking her legacy of maintaining the legitimacy of the court she fought so hard for. >> jeff rosen, thank you so much for being with us. dan, over to you. let's switch it up and get the forecast now, the forecast from rob marciano standing by in norwalk, connecticut, rob, good morning once again. >> good morning, dan. we talk about rolling through

our alphabet now into the greek alphabet with tropical storm names. not to be outdone or left out is the actual country of greece where we had what we like to call a medicane roll through which is a rare hurricane in the mediterranean or hurricane-like cyclone which brought winds to 70-plus miles per hour. look at the rainfall there, a tremendous amount of damage from wind and rain and flooding in greece. all right. let's talk about hurricane teddy. category 3 storm, 125 miles per hour, it will make a run at bermuda. this time it will stay east. that's good for bermuda but then staying close enough to north america where we'll see high surf across the northeast and potential landfall in atlantic canada and there's the whole circles that we're tired of looking at here of a very active hurricane season.

social media influencers fear their entire streams of revenue and original creative content is being taken from them with little to no explanation. >> i paid for college tuition with tiktok income that i've been able to incur over the years so the potential of banning tiktok is very harmful and very scary for so many creators. if tiktok were to be removed it would be destroying everything that creators like myself have been building over years. >> reporter: americans who have already downloaded tiktok can continue to use the app until november 12th, and by the way a deal could be struck between u.s. companies and tiktok to satisfy the trump administration's national security concerns so still a lot up in the air. whit. >> we have not heard the end of this. andrew dymburt for us, thank you so much. it's amazing how much these influencers can make. >> yeah. >> talking about paying tuition and everything, it's really incredible. coming up here on "good morning america," no audience, no problem apparently. the changes in store for the emmys tomorrow night. apparently the changes in store for the emmys tomorrow night.
