say they just can't get behind hillary clinton. >> we're still grieving. >> reporter: north dakota delegate emily kimble said bernie sanders not being the presidential candidate is a loss of a loved one. >> they're not listening to the people on the ground. i know that hillary clinton is a very caring person, and has a lot of amazing work that she has done. >> reporter: she's boarding a bus to head to the center, other delegates are not. >> all they're doing now is infomercials for hillary. >> what's the alternative for you? what do you do now? >> well, we could go see the liberty bell. and then we were talking about going to have some philly cheesesteaks. and probably going down to fdr park for the protests. >> reporter: supporters of bernie said you have to do what he is asking. >> it's ridiculous for anyone to walk out. >> reporter: but that is what some have done. >> there's nothing else we can do, which is why we're not going back. they don't want our votes. they don't care about our votes. so we don't feel there's any reason for us to be there. and we're not, i'm sorry, but we're not going to go and watch the coronation of the queen. >> we're not abandoning him. the party isn't. he's not abandoning the party or the principles either. we can still stand for bernie sanders and everything he stands for, and still support hillary clinton. because that's what we need to do. >> reporter: now, some are skipping the conventional together, others say they will be in protest of the nomination of hillary clinton. you'll see signs like these on the convention floor today. others say they're throwing their vote behind third party candidates. >> third parties, the green party. their candidate jill stein will be in philadelphia tonight. she's part of a panel discussion that begins at 7:00 p.m. at 15th and cherry. stein is running on a platform that includes job creation, investing in public transit and a push for clean, renewable energy. it's going to be

lauren mayk on the floor now. >> reporter: jim, we're over at the virginia delegation right now. they've got a really great spot here, right up close to the stage. now, they know him well. but tonight is kaine's opportunity to introduce himself to everyone else. he was here in the convention hall earlier today. let me show you that video. he was doing a walk-through to look at the stage, take a look at the prompter. really just get an idea of what he's going to be seeing here tonight. now, he has joked that he is boring, but he has already shown that he is willing to take on donald trump. take a listen to what he had to say today at a breakfast with the virginia delegation. >> this is an election that in some ways is less about candidates than about america. looking in the mirror and deciding what it is that we see there. will we go to be a nation after 240 years of religious tolerance, that suddenly is going to treat people differently because of how they worship or choose not to? are we going to bring torture back? >> now, we are going to be watching very carefully when he is placed into nomination here. because the bernie sanders supporters, some of them are not happy with this choice. they really would have liked to have seen a more progressive candidate as hillary clinton's vice president. we're going to be watching to see if they make any disruptions or make their displeasure known, jim. >> yeah, as we saw, some of them walked out last evening. lauren, thanks for being down on the floor as always. we'll check back with you throughout the afternoon and evening. president obama will be right behind us on the stage tonight with a speech on why we as a country are better united than divided. the president sat down for an exclusive interview with nbc's savannah guthrie. he said democrats should be running scared about the challenge they face in donald trump. >> you stay worried until all those votes are cast and counted, because you know, one of the dangers in an election like this is that people don't take the challenge seriously. >> and the president's vice president will also push voters to choose hillary during his primetime speech tonight. nbc 10's tim furlong has more on delaware's famous son and his mission. >> i don't have any personal use for donald trump. >> reporter: vice president joe biden taping a segment for msnbc hours before

council member and candidate for mayor. she said biden told delegates they need to fight harder for democrats at all levels on this year's ballot. she also said he talked about his own future. >> no matter what, he said i'm going to have a team of people working with me on the issues that are near and dear to his heart. >> there's no such thing as retirement or farewell for joe biden. >> reporter: i caught up with a senator today and he said he will be leading the fight against cancer. cancer took beau biden last year. he said we will probably see more of joe biden around delaware. that doesn't mean he won't still be fighting for all americans. >> you get to know somebody. and you listen to the other team. you listen to the other side. >> reporter: tim furlong, nbc 10 news. >>

can see they've pretty much moved offshore. at least for now. we're going to have another round starting tomorrow, and that is going to be much more significant than what we're seeing. we have a first alert issued for tomorrow for much of the area. delaware, new jersey, philadelphia, p.a. suburbs. this is for thursday night, into friday night. the combination of strong thunderstorms and the threat of flash flooding. so we're going to get more into that, more on the timing of the storms, the areas likely to be affected the most coming up in just a few minutes, jim. >> glenn, we'll see you soon.

lives matter issues. he said president obama didn't care enough. >> people do not have food, coming to philadelphia, the deepest poverty city in america. >> i would say it's not about hillary. i'm with her on issues, too. are you down at your state house, your local elections, are you running for office. >> reporter: at today's dnc black caucus -- >> if doctor king had given up because of setbacks along the way, we wouldn't be where we are today. >> reporter: a message from former attorney general eric holder, to not give up. angela said she's not disheartened by the black men for

hotter. parkside and west mount airy, 95 right now. fox chase, bustleton at 93 degrees. we've got another day of this. and the humidity is going to be higher tomorrow as well. radar satellite not showing much, except for some showers and storms from portions of cape may county, the middle portion of the county. atlantic city didn't get it. cape may didn't get it. that's about it. but the heat wave continues. and it will go one more day. there's not much more doubt about that. this is our third heat wave of the season. the longest one so far. the last couple days of the month will not be

friday morning. look how heavy that is. and that's in the morning. we don't have to wait until friday afternoon to get these storms. and after the storms thursday, and then on friday, we do have the threat of some flooding along with that. so we do have the first alert that goes from late tomorrow, thursday night into friday night, combination of a chance to strong to severe storms on thursday afternoon and night. and then some flash flooding into friday as a result of that. now, what happens tonight, we've got dry conditions, and a very warm night to start off with. it's going to stay fairly humid during the night. then as we go into morning, it's already getting close to 80 degrees in most of the area. by noon, it's close to 90 in parts of the region. but as you can see, down in atlantic city, it is cooler, because we've got the sea breeze coming in again tomorrow. so we have the storms tomorrow, and friday. but look at the temperature go down. saturday we have better chance of sunshine across the area. but the temperature stays in the 80s. look at that. 82 degrees lehigh valley friday. 85 on saturday. but we do expect a good bit of rain. new jersey, jersey shore getting
