huge turnout. actually. i think we're going to see record amounts of turnout. >> optimism about the election from the bay area's biggest county. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. as we count down to election day. voter registration and participation are a key component of the process. voters set a record in the last presidential election. more than 80% of registered california voters cast ballots to decide between donald trump and joe biden. that was the highest turnout since 2008, when barack obama was first elected. over the past 20 years, a presidential elections turnout has averaged 75%. >> but can we do better? abc seven news reporter zach fuentes joins us live from the south bay bureau, with the local organizations working to get people engaged. hi, zach. >> hey, there. yeah, we have seen a slight spike in voter registration increasing because of an endorsement from taylor swift. or some will say it's linked to that, but the local organizations i've spoken with say they're not going to let

that slow down their work. in fact, they're working even harder to increase civic engagement. the power of taylor swift can often be illustrated by album sales or concert attendance. now, since her tuesday night endorsement of vice president kamala harris, it's being shown in civic engagement. >> there's no question that somebody with taylor swift's stature and number of followers is going to have an impact. >> swift shared a link to vote dot gov. it got more than 405,000 site visits in the 24 hours since her post, up from the 30,000 visitors a day it had gotten in the days prior. the nonpartisan, nonprofit website vote.org said that since swift's post as of thursday morning, it recorded more than 52,000 registrations via its website. more than 25,000 voters have requested an absentee ballot, and more than 144,000 verified their voter registration. experts say swift's endorsement could increase young voter turnout. >> for a lot of young people, they're on instagram. they listen to taylor swift's music, but they're not looking for

political content. they're not tuning in to the debate. but if they're following taylor swift and they see that come across their instagram, they're like, oh, well, now it's reaching them where they are. >> all of this as early voting starts october 7th with other key dates right behind it. >> want to make sure that people, if you do, are registered to vote for the first time to make sure you register before october 21st, that is the deadline to register to vote for this election. you can register to vote after that, but it's called a conditional voter registration, which everything needs to be checked before it's actually official vote registered voter registration, and the time between early voting and election day is crunch time for a coalition of groups working to increase voter turnout and education among all eligible voters, not just election day. >> it's an election period based in the south bay that together we vote coalition said it's working to encourage voters of all ages and communities to use the weeks during this election period to know what they're voting for. >> so increase the participation is number one for us, but really informing the community of what

they're actually voting on is, is a close second. and there is plenty of time right now to make sure you're informed when you vote. the santa clara county registrar's office does suggest that once those ballots are mailed out, you do try to get them in sooner than later. right now, live in the south bay bureau. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> okay, zach, thanks very much. donald trump today says there will be no more presidential debates. trump debated kamala harris on tuesday and joe biden back in june. the harris campaign has called for a rematch, but trump says he's not interested at a campaign event today in arizona. trump claimed victory. >> we won big with independent voters, moderates, republicans and working people all across this nation putting forward a clear vision to very simply make america great again. >> trump will attend a private fundraiser in the bay area tomorrow. the fundraiser is expected to be at the home of billionaire tom siebel in woodside. sky seven flew over it today. trump's reception tickets

this morning performing the first ever private spacewalk. reporter brian abel has a look at this high risk endeavor. >> space x mission control erupting in cheers as the hatch of the crew dragon capsule opens, exposing the four crew members inside to the vacuum of space. over the following two hours, billionaire tech ceo jared isaacman and spacex engineer sarah gillis complete the world's first commercial spacewalk for about ten minutes each from outside the capsule. isaacman taking in views of earth passing by some 450 miles below. >> back at home, we all have a lot of work to do, but from here it looks like a perfect world. >> the mission commander also bending and stretching this space dance meant to test how their suits move. >> no one has ever used this

spacesuit out in space before, so it opens up a whole new capability. we haven't had a new spacesuit in over 40 years, so all the latest technology since then integrated into into a new tech suit. >> former international space station commander chris hadfield says thursday's mission opens the door to exciting new opportunities. >> the spacex capsule has never gone down to the zero pressure vacuum of space before testing the hatches and all the equipment inside that everything worked. >> the polaris dawn crew will spend another couple of days in orbit checking off remaining mission goals and working through a list of experiments. the crew dragon spacecraft could make its return to earth. this weekend. in washington, brian abel reporting. >> it's really quite crazy. i was just looking up how cold it is in space, 450 miles above the earth. it's about 185 degrees below zero g. >> pass. i guess you've got the

suit to keep you warm. so there you go. >> it's a lot different around here. >> yes. let's get to meteorologist sandhya patel. sandhya? yeah, i would say so. dan and speaking of a lot different, let's talk about climate warming. climate. august 2024 was the warmest august on record globally. it was the 15th consecutive month of record high global temperatures. july was pretty warm here for us. as you know, it went down in the record books. long term warming trend is driven by human activities, primarily emissions of greenhouse gases. as we look at live doppler seven right now, skies are clear. looking at your afternoon highs mid 60s, coast to low 90s inland. it is going to be a warmer day. saturday. the cooling begins. the breeze picks up. you're in the 60s to 80s. look at sunday. windier much cooler. it's going to feel like fall with well below average temperatures. quick look at francine. it's post-tropical cyclone, but it is bringing flooding rain to much of the south. and there are flash flood warnings and tornado watches up for that region. so the threat isn't over. accuweather seven

day forecast. enjoy the warmth tomorrow. it's going to turn cooler and windier over the weekend and we bring in the possibility of wet weather monday and even on wednesday when the golden bachelorette premieres right here on abc seven. ama and dan. it's exciting. yeah. thanks, sandhya. >> all right, i'll tell you what is exciting. sports director larry beil and what he's got for you tonight. good stuff. you sure? i'm pretty sure. okay. >> all right. i'm pretty sure at least one person is optimistic. the latest on christian mccaffrey's availability or lack thereof, for the 40 niners upcoming game against the vikings in minnesota. plus, check out cal coach justin wilcox, who is turning into ticketmaster. you want a ticket, you want to take it. you want where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children.

daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

up in minnesota. look, given how well jordan mason played in the opener, probably does not make a lot of sense to rush mccaffrey back, especially for a game on artificial turf. mccaffrey has achilles tendinitis and a calf injury. was a late scratch monday night. kyle shanahan was asked about this. he said he never considered putting his star tailback on the injured reserve list. that would keep him out for four weeks. quarterback brock purdy says mccaffrey is special because he presents so many problems for opposing defenses. >> that's a huge aspect. you know, teams always have to account for him and have a whole plan for christian. he's the best in the league at it. and

so, you know, when he's not out there, i think it's sort of not necessarily simplifies things for defenses, but that's a component that they don't have to really handle. and then they can focus on george and ba and deebo. so, that's something that for us that we have to understand. and, and as a quarterback, i always like having that because i think it does open up other guys. >> oh buckle up. here comes another wave of college football realignment. the pac 12 trying to rebuild itself by poaching four schools from the mountain west, fresno state, san diego state, colorado state and boise state. no san jose state, at least not for now. but those first four will join oregon state and washington state in 2026. a whole lot can happen between now and then, so the rebuild conference needs at least eight teams to be considered a full league. so who's next spots? open for two. we will see the obvious choices. you know what? they'd be cal and stanford getting out of the acc and coming back to the pac, but who knows if that's the way it works out after cal's big win at auburn over the weekend, rumors

sprang up that quarterback fernando mendoza got a standing ovation in class on monday. mendoza said applause. yes. standing >> oh no, he shouted out. the football team's like, how about the football team on saturday? you know, he started clapping, but there was no standing ovation. we were thrilled that we even got we got a shout out by the professor and it was a pretty big lecture. but i hate to say this because it was so great, but no, no standing ovation. maybe we can get a whole team standing ovation. you know, not just for one guy, but no, but it's definitely a goal to work towards for the team. >> fernando is such a good kid. cal football coach justin wilcox basically turned into the human version of stubhub today. he was handing out free tickets to students in berkeley. even bringing free pizza as encouragement. dan, why don't you lead like this? the golden bears are two and oh, they host san diego state saturday night at 730. would be great to see the students turn out in force. thank you. just look at the line there. those kids a's and astros

in houston. the dog's happy he's not in springfield. he's going for a sweep of the first place astros. too soon, too soon. down two one in the eighth. brant rooker his 36th. we're tied at two. give me give me the souvenir. hey, that's my souvenir. uh- astros played four in the eighth. former giant mauricio dubon a two run single. the a's lose six three. they're now off to chicago to face the awful white sox, who've already lost 114 games this season. that's hard to do. and the giants are playing tonight. pga season starting in sonoma this week at the pro corps championship. first round today david lipsky, who turned pro in 2011, has yet to win on the pga tour. but setting the pace early with a seven under 65. a couple of guys who are still out on the course, who have a chance to catch him and we'll see what happens in round two. sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final, so that event is sponsored by procore. they are a construction industry software firm employed. well, my daughter works for procore, which is really curious because i'm here instead of in a luxury suite in sonoma, watching these guys play

golf. >> how does that happen? >> what's what were these kids? >> this will be addressed, i'm sure. yes, it will be. thanks. >> thanks. thanks, both of you. okay tonight on abc seven at eight. catch eye in the future of us on oprah and oprah winfrey special. i'm going to get through this. i swear, at nine, it's lucky 13, followed at ten by who wants to be a millionaire? and stay up with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that we are streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> all right. finally, tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters with the election now, less than two months away, it's crunch time for the candidates. sure, but also for the voters. huge numbers on both sides have already made up their minds. so the political trench warfare is the battle for those who are still undecided. tuesday's high stakes debate here on abc seven was a critical opportunity for both candidates to sway those still on the fence. the undecideds. that may have been the last opportunity to tip them

to one side or the other. harris is calling for a second debate, but trump said point blank today that there will be no more face offs between them. that would be a shame, because when it comes to giving voters the chance to compare and contrast the candidates running for presiden, more is better, even if they can be sometimes more sizzle than steak. while trump may be claiming victory, the polls show that a solid majority of voters believe that the win goes to harris. but no matter who the polls say finished first, what really matters is that america and americans win when we have as much information as we can get before deciding who becomes the most powerful leader on the planet, i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> all right, that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us here. >> we appreciate your time. have a great night and we'll see you again at 11.
