towards black communities. >> they bad mouth president trump, he is our president. >> reporter: going into the weekend, there could be more visible reaction. >> i am getting calls from organizers in napa, solano, southern california. >> however the election ends up, i am not going to be protesting or be upset or yelling at people that supported biden. at the end of the day everybody wants the country to be better. if joe biden wins his vp, kamala harris, will be vacating her senate seat. she represented california since 2017. the governor picks the replacement and they already have names in mind. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden and kamala harris have not won the 270 electoral votes, but in california talks for filling the senate seat have begun. >> the race is already on to
