continues our team coverage. she is in the newsroom. we're hearing great things today, melanie. interesting things. >> absolutely. dan several people i spoke with said that they credited senator feinstein with launching their careers and perhaps less known that she was also often credited with helping others find love. >> and i have this photo from election night, 1992. dianne and i made history together. >> it's the year former senator barbara boxer says the number of women in the senate tripled. but only went from 2 to 6. >> i was unknown literally in the state, so she could have easily said, you know what, barbara, you go your way. i'll go mine. but she grabbed my hand and she held it all the way through. >> the duo sometimes referred to as the thelma and louise of the senate, served together 24 years. boxer isn't the only one who, in part credits senator dianne feinstein for their career. >> she's such an important part of sort of the fabric of me. >> jim wunderman, now president and ceo of the bay area council, was feinstein's special

assistant from 1983 to 1988. he recalls interning for her in the mayor's office. >> mayor feinstein said, well, you know, i think when jim graduates because it was in my now in my last year at san francisco state, she said, maybe we'll hire him. you know, she sort of put that out there. >> senator feinstein wasn't just a career maker. boxer says she was also a matchmaker. >> she also loved to fix people up on dates and took great credit for a few marriages that happened. she was always searching around. if there was someone in the senate who was single, well, i have a great guy for you. i have a great gal for you. but her greatest legacy, perhaps, will be her work in the senate. >> certainly her work on the violence against women act was i don't know that that would have passed into law except for her tremendous efforts. >> representative zoe lofgren says senator feinstein was an avid researcher, one of her favorite phrases. >> well, i'm going to have to read more about that. i'm going to have to learn more about that. >> her life's work, a life

announcing feinstein's historic win is framed at the front of the school. flags were flying at half staff there today. >> a question now on the minds of many who were placed, dianne feinstein in the senate. governor newsom has pledged to pick a black woman to fill the seat. abc7 news reporter zach fuentes has a look at some of the potential picks as the country and state processes the death of senator dianne feinstein. >> attention is also focused on who will fill her senate seat and how that will happen. >> the governor newsom has a big decision to make and he has a very short time to make it. >> the last time the governor had to appoint someone to the senate was when kamala harris became vice president. he appointed then secretary of state alex padilla. >> he took five weeks to make that decision. he doesn't have that luxury now right now, we're facing a government shutdown. we democrats have a narrow majority in the senate. >> adam schiff, barbara lee and katie porter entered the race for feinstein's seat after she announced she wouldn't seek reelection in 2024. in his statement honoring feinstein

friday, newsom said nothing about who would fill her seat. but earlier this month, on nbc's meet the press, newsom said he would not select any of the candidates if he was faced with appointing someone so instead he would put in someone to be an interim caretaker until next year's election, when he has said would be a black woman. >> some of the names that have risen to the forefront have been shirley weber, who was appointed to replace alex padilla as the secretary of state. we also have malia cohen, who's also been mentioned, and she is currently our state comptroller. and holly mitchell, who has worked with the newsom campaign previously. and she's a current la county supervisor, one of the other names, san francisco mayor london breed, who did not want to weigh in on that possibility friday. >> and that conversation could be saved for another day. i want to really, truly make sure that, you know, that that's the governor's responsibility and i'm sure he is all ready working on it and doing what he needs to do, regardless of who fills that seat, experts say they won't have the benefit of the

seniority. >> feinstein had. >> california will still be very important, given again, the size and, you know, the number of important issues that impact our state. >> zach fuentes, abc7 news. and coming up next, we're joined live by abc seven news insider phil matier. >> his take on who should be california's next senator. plus san francisco. >> under dianne feinstein's leadership literally created the model for how to fight hiv aids . >> tonight, a closer look at feinstein's life saving influence on the y community "kevin, what does being the ceo of cashbacking mean to you?" it means cashbacking every opportunity. did you cashback on this? like i wouldn't cashback? cashbacking by the basket, i see you. ugh. i dreamt you didn't cashback this flight. oh good. if you're buying it, flying it, or wining n' dining it, then you gotta be cashbacking it. come on now.

senate majority leader chuck schumer called for that moment this morning to remember the senate's oldest serving member, and california senator alex padilla, today delivered an emotional speech remembering dianne feinstein's kindness on the day he was sworn in. >> i've just been sworn in to the united states senate and i'm watching sen. feinstein faced him with my kids. so proud of your dad. when are you coming to washington? i will buy you lunch . that was dianne feinstein. touching moment there today. >> and joining us now is abc seven news insider phil matier. >> yeah. and phil, a lot of questions surrounding who governor newsom will appoint to finish feinstein's term. what

are your thoughts? >> well, it's a game of three dimensional chess here. what we're talking about now, first of all, you have governor of california who is trying to pick somebody in the best interest of california. second, you have a governor of california who is also making a national statement . and that question is an african-american woman in the senate and there's a great call to have one there. now, who is he listening to, california or the nation, especially if he has presidential aspirations? who are you out to make happy? who are you out to? could you irritate by making this choice now, he's committed to an african-american woman initially, but now it's in a caretaker status. it's not like if he if he gave it to somebody that they would be able to run with it. he's trying to say, just go there for 18 months until the election. >> just fill the gap. >> fill the gap. all right. that's not easy to do. going to washington to fill the gap. so you might you might be looking around for a congressional

person to fill the gap. you might be looking for this. shirley weber, our own secretary of state, is probably the leading possibility. mares linda breed in san francisco is busy. there's karen bass, a very qualified african-american woman who's the now the mayor of los angeles, is a bit busy right now, too. and the idea of a part time is not something people in full time life are looking at right now. so in some ways, the governor's painted himself into a corner. and it's going to be interesting to see what happens because the pressure is on. okay, you're going to have a couple of days, but we're going to have to get this done right. all right. well, we spent the day talking about senator dianne feinstein's remarkable contribution to san francisco. >> and of course, to the country. some may not realize exactly what an impact even from washington, she really did have on san francisco. what stands out to you as some of the high points? >> well, some of the high points are, as you've reviewed food over there, her handling of the aids situation, her handling of san francisco during some of its most turbulent times, and on the national level, everything from violence against women, the

assault weapons ban. for me, it's something pretty simple. she was this, i guess, you know , what can i say? she was the principal, you know, at the school, the principal that made sure everything ran okay. you know, you had your teachers, you had your students, but there was always the principal. she kept her hand in everything. yes, but she made it kind of orderly and, you know, and blow the whistle. but in 1979, when the cable cars were literally falling apart, she went out there and got them fixed. she one of the reasons why san francisco skyline looks the way it does is because of her. she revitalized a number of things in the city and in the bay area because that's what she was interested in. like i said, she was the principal. >> can there ever be another dianne feinstein? >> no, you can. you can you can fill the seat. but you can't fill the person. and it's also she's with her seniority and stuff like that. this is a statement on our entire bay area and we will see where we go from here. >> all right, phil, thanks so much. >> yeah. and feinstein was the first to in so many ways, the first woman president of the san

francisco board of supervisors, the first woman mayor of san francisco and the first woman in california to win a major party's gubernatorial nomination . although she lost the race for governor to pete wilson in 1982, feinstein was elected to the us senate alongside barbara boxer. >> they were the first women ever elected to the senate from california and in congress. feinstein was the first woman to chair the senate rules committee, as well as the senate intelligence committee. >> at age 90, she was the oldest >> at age 90, she was the oldest sitting member of congress. but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga.

another heartbreaking thing to just contemplate for her and for all of us. and we were we were talking about the future. of course, she has continued to mourn the death a year ago of dick plumb, her husband of so many years. they, by the way, were married the same year sidney harman and i were married in 1980. and, you know, our families were close, too. so i just i just i can't think of enough things to say without bursting into tears that would give people who didn't know her an idea of the enormity of her contribution to our coury. >> and harman shared this photo. you e her with diane feinstein. this was taken just yesterday during what turned out to be their final meeting. >> what a photo. diane feinstein was an ally and a trailblazer for the lgbtq plus movement. but her history with that community was more complicated than maybe many people realize. here's abc

seven news reporter suzanne fawn . >> all right. all right. >> it takes a small army of volunteers to replace a gigantic rainbow flag flying over the castro district today. >> as we lower the flag in memoriam for dianne feinstein. we raised the rainbow flag as a beacon of hope for people everywhere. >> senator feinstein had become a huge champion of the lgbt rights. >> i think she will always be known as somebody who brought the city together at a time right at the burgeoning of the modern lgbt movement. when harvey milk was and mayor moscone were assassins and cleve jones was there when mayor moscone and supervisor harvey milk were assassinated. >> i go way back with senator feinstein, back to the 70, jones explains the relationship feinstein had with the lgbtq community. she was very adept at sending signals to the community that she supported us, acknowledged us at a time when very few politicians did at all. but it would only go so far. she

was willing to host and perform commitments, ceremony ceremonies for same sex couples in her home , in her garden. but yet was one of the very last significant democratic party leaders to really embrace full marriage equality. >> she was out there and fighting for equal rights and social justice all the time. i know she did have a complicated history during the aids crisis. senator scott wiener described the senator's efforts during the peak of the aids crisis in the 1980s. >> san francisco. so under dianne feinstein's leadership, literally created did the model for how to fight hiv aids, a model that's been now replicated throughout the world that included a controversy decision early to mid 1980s. i think there was there were a lot of debates about how to best fight hiv. and our department of public health did decide to close the bathhouses. that was a

terrible mistake. dianne feinstein listened and made that commitment and many, many lives were saved as a result in san francisco. >> suzannephan abc7 news and as you saw on suzanne's report, dianne feinstein played a key role for the city following the deaths of harvey milk and george moscone. >> and she was, as we all know there at city hall on the day of the shooting. >> what people don't know is that dan white and harvey milk were friends. >> she shared those thoughts with us for our abc seven originals documentary murder at city hall, which relives those deadly moments from 1978. watch murder at city hall on demand. anytime on the abc7 bay area app and we have compiled all of our stories about senator dianne feinstein from today's breaking news coverage to historic clips pulled from our archives and find it all on the abc7 bay area app available wherever you stream we'll be back

career of senator dianne feinstein as the lead democrat on the judiciary committee. >> first woman in her career was marked by many firsts. >> senator dianne feinstein was the first woman president of the san francisco board of supervisors, the first woman mayor of san francisco and one of two women. first elected to the us senate from california. >> dianne feinstein right from the start was an icon for women in politics. >> six she's a legend, a legend in california as the first woman senator. a legend in this senate. she she was the leader on so many different issues. >> feinstein was born dianne goldman in san francisco on june 22, 1933. >> her mother was russian orthodox father, jewish. she worshiped at temple emanuel synagogue and graduated from a

roman catholic girls high school . >> that school was san francisco's convent of the sacred heart. there feinstein was in the glee club ballet, a camera club and athletics. she went on to study at stanford university, where she graduated in 1955. feinstein was married three times. she had her only daughter, katherine, with her first husband, who she divorced after three years in 1962. she married her second husband, bertram feinstein, who died in 1978 of colon cancer. just months before feinstein became san francisco mayor in 1980. feinstein married her third husband, investment banker richard blum. she remained with him until his death from cancer in 2022. feinstein ann's first foray into politics came in 1960, when then-governor pat brown appointed her to the california women's parole board. but it was in 1969, at the age of 35, that feinstein first held public office, winning a seat on the san francisco board of supervisors. former san francisco mayor willie brown was

in the state assembly at the time. he recalled meeting feinstein during those years. >> i remember that i was trying to get a house here in san francisco when they wouldn't allow black people easily to get houses. and there was a demonstration and this angular, tall, great looking white woman on pushing a baby stroller with a little kid in it whom nobody knew anything about, came out to participate in the protest. that was dianne feinstein and that was that long ago. and so i am a great admirer. >> in the 1970s, while serving as the first female president of the board of supervisors, feinstein ran twice for mayor but lost. she had decided not to run again in when tragedy struck the city. >> it's been seven hours now since that 38 caliber pistol went off, nine times and took the lives of the two leaders. >> both mayor moscone and

supervisor harvey milk have been shot and killed. the tragic assassination of san francisco mayor george moscone by supervisor dan white in 1978 put feinstein in the job. >> in 1979, feinstein won her first full term as mayor and began reshaping the city during the decade she served. she survived a recall attempt led mostly by detractors of her proposal to ban handguns in san francisco, oversaw the remaking of the city's skyline, which some decried as the manhattanization of san francisco, oversaw a raucous 1984 democratic national convention and saved the city's cable car system. >> the cable car is still running because of dianne feinstein. >> rose to power as crisis gripped the city's gay community , a disease that would later be called aids, killed thousands of gay men hoping to save lives. feinstein ordered the city's bathhouses closed, a risky move

considering the political power of the gay community at the time. under her watch, the city's health department created the global standard for aids health care at san francisco general hospital in 1990, feinstein set her sights on a higher office running for california governor. she lost to republican pete wilson, but still made history again as the first woman in the state to win a major party's gubernatorial nomination. then in 1992, a turning point during what was dubbed the year of the woman, feinstein was elected to the us senate alongside bay area congresswoman barbara boxer. >> i feel a little bit like i just got married. it was a very special ceremony to be in the chambers, to be in this room with the history in congress. >> feinstein served as the first woman to chair the senate rules committee and the senate intelligence committee. she authored the 1994 federal assault weapons ban, leading to a ten year restriction on certain semi-automatic weapons. the legislation was prompted by the 101 california street

shooting when a gunman opened fire at a law firm in san francisco's financial district, killing eight people. i worked with republicans and democrats alike, ten republicans along with 46 democrats, voted and voted in favor of the amendment. >> dianne feinstein is the only member of congress either on the congressional side or on the senate side who has ever been able to get a controlled weapons ban side earned into law. dianne got that in 2014. >> feinstein released a report revealing how the cia was detaining and interrogating potential terrorists. sometimes torturing the suspects. the release of the report led to anti-torture legislation. >> this program was morally, legally and administratively misguided and that this nation should never again engage in these tactics. >> feinstein's legislative

legacy also includes creating federal coordination of amber alerts, the national child abduction warning system, passing the california desert protection act, which protected millions of acres of california desert and created the death valley and joshua tree, national parks reauthorizing the violence against women act to protect women from domestic violence and sexual assault, and authoring the 2022 respect for marriage act to enshrine marriage equality into federal law. >> simply put, what americans should be free to marry the person they love regardless of sexual orientation or race at times. >> senator feinstein faced criticism from some in her own party, some of the worst came in 2018 after she initially declined to make public a letter from bay area professor christine blasey ford during the supreme court confirmation hearings for justice brett kavanaugh. ford had said kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were in high school.

two years later, some democrats also criticized feinstein for appearing too cozy with republicans during the confirmation hearings for conservative supreme court appointee amy coney barrett. still, throughout her career, feinstein was seen as a trailblazer for women, someone who broke barriers, juggling, being a wife and mother while navigating a career in the male dominated field of politics. dana is unbelievable in terms of how she sets her mind into her program. >> on doing something and it gets done in feinstein's later years in office, concerns were raised about her mental fitness and ability to serve. >> she was the oldest sitting member of congress in late february of 2023, at age 89, she was hospitalized with shingles that health scare coming the same month. feinstein had announced she would retire from the us senate when her term was up in 2024. she told reporters it was time, you know, good times for all things under the

sun and i think that will be the right time. senate majority leader chuck schumer said. feinstein teared up when she told her democratic colleagues about her decision, and she got a standing ovation that lasted minutes and minutes and minutes , one of the longest i've ever seen, which shows the love that our caucus and our country have for this wonderful, wonderful leader and legend, dianne feinstein. >> just amazing. >> that's a long report by tv news standards. and it was still tough to squeeze everything about this remarkable life into that report. she's just incredible. what she's done. >> exactly. and you know, senator feinstein's final vote was in favor of a short term spending bill intended to avert a government shutdown, which could start sunday. next, we have a look at how that would impact fleet week in san francisco. >> plus, an arrest more than a quarter century later in the murder of tupac shakur

you're like, what? i know that isn't a clear cut answer, but

the fact that they didn't make the playoffs this year sounded like a very big deal. when farhan zaidi spoke a couple of hours ago. he is president of baseball operations for the giants now in his four seasons as skipper. gabe kapler led this team to the playoffs just one time. farhan said we viewed ourselves as a playoff team, expected to be a playoff team, and we're not a playoff team. they were eliminated from playoff contention this past week. i found it interesting that when farhan spoke today about kapler, he said, we want to have a product that our fans are excited about, a product that our fans can come to the ballpark to see. you look at the attendance numbers and since 2020 they are down and that is also a very big deal. and dan, and it's not forget that kapler came in after a man by the name of bruce bochy. sure. those are big shoes to fill. all they had to do was go 500in the last month or so. i know it sounds easier than it really is, but they didn't do that. they didn't make the playoffs. somebody has

to take the blame for that. and gabe kapler, is that somebody? >> yeah, obviously. all right. thanks, jeff. thanks so much. >> well, today, a breakthrough in the murder case of legendary rapper tupac shakur. an arrest has been made. tupac had many connections in the bay area and abc7 news reporter answer hassan spent the day with some of his friends. >> for 27 years, the family of tupac shakur has been waiting for justice. we are here today to announce the arrest of 60 year old dewayne keith davis after 27 years. >> duane davis was charged with the murder of legendary american rapper tupac shakur. tupac was gunned down in a drive by shooting in las vegas in 1996. that at the same time, we're building towards a successful prosecution. for years, davis was one of four suspects in the investigation. jordan davis, who lives in this house in las vegas, isn't the accused gunman, but authorities say he devised and orchestrated the plan and wrote about it in his 2019

autobiography. >> i'm very, very surprised because we always thought that it was the new york versus la, well known bay area attorney john burris represented tupac in a civil rights lawsuit against the oakland police department in the early 1990s. >> burris hopes this development won't trigger revenge killings. he's still surprised the case dragged on for decades. >> i wouldn't have thought that those would have been sufficient enough leads to move things along. being a friend and a fan of tupac, there's mean i could pull out many, many, many songs. but of course, the one that came to mind first was dear mama. >> darrell rorie, who lives in marin city, was a long time friend of tupac, well before his rise to fame. one concern he has davis may be in custody, but he may not be the man who fired the gun that killed tupac. >> we don't want somebody just to be in jail, just, you know, to satisfy his family and satisfy the people who loved him. you know, if this guy had was involved, then, you know, then, you know, so be it. but,

you know, it's bittersweet day. but on this day, rory is focused on the legacy of his friend, the artist whose music still remains relevant today. his name is still up there, you know, i mean, and so i just hope justice will be served, if not today, at some point and may he rest in peace. >> abc7 news. >> there are just two days to the deadline to avoid a government shutdown and without a deal a shutdown could start on sunday. the timing could not be more challenging for organizers of san francisco's fleet week scheduled to start on monday. abc7 news reporter dustin dorsey shows you what may change if reslience action is not met. time is ticking. >> a deadline to reach a deal to prevent a government shutdown by midnight sunday approaches with every tick of a clock. with the house of representatives dug in after late week attempts at solutions failed, the chances of a deal made. >> it's looking pretty grim at this point. >> san jose state university
