Hes wasting no time and said in tonights speech he plans to put together that task force starting monday. Biden said its impossible to fix the economy and get the nation back to normal until the virus is under control. I talked to abc 7 news correspondent dr.

Were down to 40s in a lot of spots like clover dale, were down to a chilly 51 in the city right now. 56 in oakland, 50 the current temperature in san jose. Were watching very closely our winds. Tonight we do expect them to begin to ramp up. You can see the gusts right now at half moon bay, 32 Miles Per Hour, 22 that wind gust. So we do have a wind advisory.

Can you see the story were tracking, snowfall in the sierra, essentially, it remains pretty unsettled overhead tomorrow.

Its a cool day tomorrow, upper 50s to lower 60s, and, again, we have that wind with us. Theres that winter storm warning in effect with the chain controls on 50 and 80.

Pennsylvania has challenged giulianis claim saying there is no evidence of fraud and poll watchers have been given access to ballot counting.

John dennis believes joe bidens win was called prematurely and that the president still has a chance of winning. He is hoping for recounts, including in wisconsin, michigan and parts of pennsylvania and believes this is likely to go to court. No, this is not done by any stretch of the imagination. If we go through the, go through the process, and we find that joe bidens the winner, then thats it, we just move on, i think its a tragic choice. I think joe biden is in his lesser years now. Ive already dennis said if it comes to that, he believes the president will concede graciously. I think that what will surprise people, and i hope this does not happen. I think its possible it could happen, but i think theres a strong chance the president pulls this out. But if, if in fact, you know, the, we, he gets everything he wants and finds out that he lost, i think youll be surprised at how gracious he is. Boris johnson, Prime Minister of the uk wrote the u. S. Is our most important ally, and i look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities from Climate Change to trade and security.

Congressman john lewis, congressman john lewis, before his passing wrote democracy is not a state. It is an act. And what he meant was that americas democracy is not guaranteed. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. Lewis died in july at the age of 80 from cancer. Peninsula congresswoman Jackie Speier was a colleague and friend of lewis. Her calling on john lewis was yet another reminder of the remarkable imprint he has left on all of our lives. In that final message, lewis called voting the most powerful, nonviolent change agent.

In a recent usc poll of california voters of the pick theyd prefer, bay area congressman barbara lee and ro khanna were at the top. Whoever he picks they will have the seat until 2022. Kamala harris cut her teeth in the bay area. Weve gone through the archives to find her big moments to momeo she officiated the first samesex wedding. We take a look at more the harris history. She then returned to the San Francisco bay area, deciding to pursue a career in the legal field. She attended the university of california hastings in San Francisco for law school where in her second year she became the president of the black law students association. She earned her law degree in 89. By 1990, she was a Deputy District Attorney for Alameda County, working for the people in her hometown. Where her representation alone would go on to inspire many. I first met her, it it was a long time ago. She was working at the Alameda CountyDistrict Attorneys office. It was really great to see, really, an africanamerican woman involved, and she was a prosecutor. She was someone who people respected. She was wellspoken, and so just from afar, i always admired her. I would describe her as determined, intelligent, fun, interesting and also shes been a mentor, but shes more like a mother. So i think the name momala is so perfect for her. Because she provides you with advice and support, but she also tries to find out what is going on with you, and are you taking care of yourself . As a San Francisco chronicle columnist, ive been covering the politics and personalities of the bay area for as long as i can remember. Maybe too long. Even when you first met her, you knew something was there. There was an intelligence. There was a vibrancy, and there was that essential ingredient in all political success, ambition. Theres no question that Kamala Harris made the most of her contacts and personal relationships in San Francisco. The leading of that is former mayor willie brown who is the House Speaker of the time she first met him. She would later daete him briefly. He also introduced her to the nob hill set. They are the finance ears iers. She became part of that group as well. Never underestimate Kamala Harris. Shehas been a winner each and every time she has sought public office. After eight years in Alameda County, shed crossed the bay to San Francisco to become assistant District Attorney. After two years she left the job, then working in San Francisco city hall under City Attorney luis rene, one of her first supporters when show challenged her old boss in 2002 to become San Francisco da. It would be harris first time appearing on a ballot. In order to run the office, she had to run for office as she said in her memoir. As i hold the office. As i hold the office. As District Attorney of the city and county of San Francisco. Of District Attorney of the city and county of San Francisco. Congratulations this was her office. When we moved in, terence had moved out all the furniture. So when we walked in, he had, out of her office, left nothing. So she worked like this, a chair and a phone like two weeks.
