decorum was on display between the vice presidential candidates. but the intensity shows. >> this is important. >> i have -- >> i'm speaking, mr. vice president. >> and california found its way in the comments from both. >> joe understands that the west coast of our country is burning, including my home state of california. >> even governor gavin newsom has agreed we've got to work on forest management. >> thank you for joining us for this special edition of abc7news. i'm ama daetz. >> with plexiglas and 12 feet of

distance between them, vice president mike pence and senators kamala harris went head to head. they tablgd several issues, including climate change, covid, and the economy. >> he tassed a tax bill benefitting the biggest corporations of america leading to a two trillion dollar deficit that the american people will have to pay for. >> president trump and i will keep america growing. the the. >> we have team coverage tonight with a local look at the matchup between pence and harris. abc7news contributor phil mather is here. >> good evening. this was a 90-minute debate that truly felt like a deekt unlike last week's chaotic deekt.

the debate covered a range of topics as you mentioned, starting with the issue of coronavirus. this debate is happening amid an outbreak at the white house. the two opponents sparred over the approach to handling this pandemic. >> president donald trump did what no other american president had ever done. that was he suspended all travel from china. >> whatever the vice president's claiming the administration has done, clearly, it hasn't worked. when you're looking at over 210,000 dead fwhoids our country. >> susan page brought up climate change which led to a spirited debate. they were asked do they believe manmade climate change contributes to the fires. vice president pence called for forest management as we've heard president trump do it. he called out climate alarmists. >> the climate is changing. the issue is what's the cause

and what do we do about it? there are no more hurricanes today than there were hundreds of years ago. >> thank you. that's your time. >> wildfires to try and sell -- >> thank you vice president pence. >> we have seen a pat western this administration which is that they don't believe in science and joe's plan is about saying that we're going to deal with this but we're going to create jobs. donald trump, and the question was the science is telling us this, you know what donald trump says? science doesn't know. >> those expressions with senator harris making the rounds on social media tonight. this was a policy-focused debate. the candidates discussed taxes, the brionna taylor case, health care, both candidates were certainly evasive at times but we saw much more civility. we're hearing from both campaigns that the campaigns are happy with their candidate's performance. >> all right. thank you. you talked about social media. you know we're going to see this

on social media for a while. a bit of distraction. fly landed on vice president mike pence's head. the fly stayed there for a few minutes before taking off. neither candidate acknowledged it. >> right now let's bring in chronicle insider phil matyr. take part in our live poll happening right now. our first question, no flies involved, we hoerngs on any of us. phil, who do you think won tonight's debate? >> it's interesting, dan. this debate is the job of a vice president that's to sell the product and the product is the presidential candidate. kamala harris's job it was sell joe biden to any undecided voters and reinforce the base he already had. mike pence's job was to reinforce the base. at times it appeared he got the

upper hand because he appeared to get under her squin especially when he attacked her record. on the other hand i would say that kamala harris was able to stand her way and stand her own against pence and she won because pence's job was to somehow move the needle and get the trump campaign, which is having rough waters right now, to sort of reset and reenergy jazz. i'm not sure he was able to accomplish that. i would say that they're holding their own. she didn't make a big mistake. that's the most you can hope for out of a vice presidential candidate. >> she did mention joe biden's name a lot. she referred back to him, isaiah probably more than pence referred back to president trump. that is interesting. if you are looking at the results at the bottom of the screen for who you think won, 88% are saying senator kamala harris. 12 percent, mike pence.

the question about mike pence, did the debate change people's opinion of him? liz, what do think of that? >> i think of course we're seeing a majorities of our viewers saying they support our senator here in california. that's maybe no surprise. i think as phil was saying, there were good moments for each candidate. i think it's hard tord say that one dwoid candidate won over the other. do i think that this is going to change people's opinions to have haven't? i don't know. i'm shocked to hear there are still undecided voters in this debate. it sooemd seems like most have decided who they're going to vote for. pence, his strategy is to really frame senator harris as being radical and i think we saw dhiem that when he talked about taxes. in some ways he was use that fwramg the green new deal. i think senator harris held her own. she talked about her record as a prosecutor here in california kchlt there was that interesting moment where she seemed to sort of tell the vice president, mr.

vice president i'm speaking and she sort of shut him down, which i think will be interesting to see how that plays out. she probably practiced her strategy. i think there was a contrast between mike penguins what happened we saw from the president. i think people looking for a contrast to the president will be happy to see that the civil twi saw toinlt. >> yeah. although it looked like the respondents are saying it did not change their opinion of him. go ahead, phil. >> part of that is -- like i said, the product is the presidential koichltd the vice presidential candidate in this case, kamala harris, she was strong. it was interesting. mike tirico used to be a talk show host. he has that unflappable -- he was -- had a lower demeanor. he was much more sort of relaxed in his role tonight and he had an advantage because he's in lock step with the president.

kamala harris, we saw more emotion coming through. we saw her flustered at times, irritated at times. also, she was at a bit of a disadvantage because it was a couple of months ago she was running against joe biden, the joe biden she talked about so admirably tonight. there were differences she's expressed and she's had different views and pence said you say this about biden, what about you? there's an undertone of the biden, something happens to him, you're the president, while she was trying sell joe biden. >> uh-huh, for sure. that brings us to the next question. 87% of you say no it didn't change your opinion of mike pence. we'll flip this now. did the debate change voters' opinion of kamala harris. we all know very well here in california. what do you think? >> i think -- we'll see what happens but it won't be much of a surprise. we know that people from this

kplunt fwam c state are familiar with kamala harris. both candidates ignored questions outright probably mike pence ig noerld a few more than kamala harris did. did it change your opinion of senator harris, no, 85%. we're in a largely democratic area. if we put these questions to people in other parts of the country, it would probably be flipped. it probably changed very few minds. there may be a few undecided voters but i doubt there are many, i suspect, in terms of percentage around the country. these debates seldom change minds especially in such a contentious debate. they reinforce your particular opinion. >> let me ask a question there. >> ok. >> dan, liz, if it didn't change anybody's opinion and we're going to say that, do you think that tonight's debate or sales job, whatever we want to call

it, would ignite voters to go out, would get them to go out and say, yes, i'm going to vote. if this is about turn did the vice president ignite voters to go out and vote. >> i think they both ignited their core supporters to turn out. i think they both did a credible job in this debate. that's a great question. i would say sure, if you're a mike pence-donald trump person you heard some things that remind you to get out and volt. if you want change and you're a kamala harris-joe biden voter probably fired you up a little bit more to go out and vote. the lines were drawn even more clearly tonight, i thought, which probably helps voter turnout. >> i agree. i think those are already going to vote for one or the other are definitely going to go out and vote for them. >> great discussion. >> thank you all. thanks, phil. >> thanks. >> you can read phil's column

every wednesday and sunday. >> and in the 2018 general election, ballots were rejected across the u.s. stephanie dug into the totals reported around the bay area and found one county that stands out. >> nearly 23,000 mail-in ballots were rejected across the bay area in the 2018 general election. according to an abc 7 analysis of federal election data, almeida county stands out. more than 8,000 mail in blarts rejected in 2018, or 1.9%. san francisco county ranked swekd more than 37 loo ballots rejected or 1.6%. >> ballots, we can't count them because they didn't meet the decline with the postmark. >> ma run and santa clara counties reportsed the lowest with .5 and .7% with mail-in ballots rejected. >> we take a lot of time to cure

illegal backfires. >> it's illegal to set a backfire if they aren't part of the incident command structure, correct? >> that is my understanding. it is illegal. >> cal-fire confirms that an investigation is under way that could result in charges and arrests. >> safety's a priority not only for the public but also the first responders working these areas. >> back fires are an essential tool. >> you're doing a great job. thank you. >> this is in st. helena last week. they decomplete the fuel before the wildfire arrived. >> the wildfire is coming up now meeting our burn. >> the owner of the vineyard show how that backfire saved his winery. >> we set fire so it was burning downhill as the fire was coming up him. that's so important to get the distance. that saved our house and winy. >> the glass destroyed what used to be his parents' house and

this year's harvest is probably ruined by the smoke. he's thankful it didn't claim more of his life's work. >> we were up 40 hours and all you could think is let's fight it. >> no, no. it's a serious thing. i get it. >> to find out more about the private firefighters i followed two oregon crews putting off hot spots off spring mountain road yesterday. they're working through a government contract. they also worry about free lance firefighters hired by the wineries. guys that throw a pickup truck together and a tank in the back, they don't have any training, they don't have insurance, they don't have workmen's comp. they aren't an official business but they look like a firefighter. >> jamie told me if private people set backfires without calling in to the command post, that could endanger any firefighters who are working nearby. >> when you get somebody who's

running lone wolf people get hurt. firefighters get killed. i've been to enough firefighter funerals in my lifetime. i don't want to go to more. >> cal-fire says the investigation should wrap up in the next day or two. i'll keep on top of what happens. for the i-team, abc nuis, abc 7 news. >> cal-fire said there was minimal fire activity overnight. cooler weather has helped. the fire is 62% contained after growing to more than 67,000 acres. more than 630 homes have been destroyed. this is one of 22 major wildfires burning right now in california. evacuation orders are still in effect in the state's first giga fire. the august complex in mendocino county has burned more than a million acres if you can imagine. it's 60% contained. tomorrow a group of u.s. marines from camp pendleton is set to

that. his home sthaend significant damage during the lexington fire way back in 1985. but he said the rate increases after that fire were minor compared to now. the reason for all the rate hikes shouldn't be a surprise. insurance companies saw a record $25 million in losses in 2017 and 18 from the california wildfires. michael soar is with the department of insurance. >> the department has received many increases, many requests from insurance companies to increase rates, and homeowners are feeling that impact right now. >> premiums drops 149 million dollars. but rates had risen sharply over the last three years. this year's increase of 414 million has already surpassesed last year's total with three plos to go in the year. elaine says there's no way to fight it. she feels trapped.
