we brought you first part of my conversations with the pennsylvania u.s. senate candidates and here again is a look at their biographies. challenger katie mcginty was most recently governor wolf's chief of staff and she served as pennsylvania's secretary of environmental protection in the rendell administration. and, is chair of the white house council on environmental quality during the clinton administration. and toomey was first elect

to the u.s. senate in 2010, he served three terms in the house of representatives, and then he previously worked in the financial services sector. we will begin the second part of our coverage, talking about the presidential nominees. while hillary clinton enjoy fullbacking of democratic candidates, including senate candidate kate i mcginty some republicans are choosing not to support donald trump. senator toomey will not vote for clinton and has so far refused to endorse the republican nominee. back in may i believe you wrote the op-ed and said there could come a point where differences are so great as to be irreconcilable. >> here's where we are at. i have been very critical of donald trump, when i have felt it appropriate. i have criticized publicly the things that he has said, things he has done, policy positions he has taken and appalling comments he has made about women that i find very offensive and objectionable. i have spoken out.

ivory fused to endorse him because of the many concerns i have about him. >> i have been disturbed that senator toomey won't be direct with the voters of pennsylvania. he actually is the only person running for united states senate in the entire country, who has not announced a position in support of or against donald trump. that just seems incredible to me. >> if were you elect and secretary clinton becomes president, would you feel comfortable voting against something she supported if you didn't believe in it. >> my only test is going to be is it good or bad for the people of pennsylvania. >> reporter: here in philadelphia, there is one specific issue that the candidates have debated. the city status as a sanctuary city. mayor jim kenney reinstated policy when he took office. it means local law enforcement it does not cooperate with federal immigration officials except when the individual has been accepted of the first or second degree violent felony. do you support philadelphia

being a sanctuary city. >> what ivory petely been clear about, again is any criminal whether they are documented or not documented need to be behind bars. all law enforcement, local, state, federal need to be working together toward the end of insuring our safety. and third, unlike senator toomey i will fight to make sure resources are there to achieve those important objectives. >> reporter: earlier this summer senator toomey introduced a bill that would withhold some congressional funding from sanctuary cities. the bill failed to advance but toomey vowed to reintroduce it. >> i will force another vote on this. it is very bad policy and very dangerous for citizens of philadelphia and surrounding area for philadelphia to be a sanctuary city. >> toomey and mcginty go head to head for the first time in their first debate monday night at 7:00. we will have full coverage and reaction on "eyewitness news" at 11:00. a controversial sign at a famous philadelphia cheese stake shop is no longer up.

for past ten years sign stating this is america when ordering please speak english, hung in the window at geno's steaks. today sign was no longer there. owner joey vento placed it there in 2006 but his son geno who took over the business decided it was time to take it down. they release had this statement, it says while geno continued to honor his father's traditions of good quality food, cleanliness and giving back to the community he decided after ten years it is time to move on. it is not about a sign. it is about what you company and what your mark in life is. and geno wants to change that mark in life. and, it is a big night at franklin institute. >> meteorologist lauren casey joining us live and a lot of things going on there tonight. >> reporter: so many things going on, and the main thing is robots, robot revolution is a new exhibit that just opened, this past weekend, and educators invited tonight a thousand from across the
