Reporter in palo alto, Marianne Favro, nbc bay area news. At a Campaign Rally yesterday President Donald Trump promised to nominate a woman to without delay. The president made hisanuncemend in North Carolina. He also characterized his right to fill the seat as a, quote, moral duty to fulfill promises made to voters. So we will uphold equal justice under the law for citizens of every race, color, religion and creed. I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman. According to nbc news source as favored choice by President Trump is Appeals Court judge amy barrett from the seventh circuit in chicago. She is 48. Was appointed by the president and was on the short list to replace Justice Anthony kennedy when he retired in 2018. Experts say barretts stance on abortion is a stark contrast to ginsburg. Another frontrunner is 11th Circuit Court judge Barbara Lagoa. She is from miami. Both women recently were appointed to those courts by President Trump. Back here locally in please on ton supporters of the president gathered for a truck rally planned before Justice Ginsburgs passing, but her death was undoubtedly a main point of discussion. Supporters of the president tell us they trust he will make the right decision. Trump has proven himself over and over again that he knows how to make good decisions. If he decides to make that choice to replace her now, im right behind him on that. There was a small number of counter decisions to say it should be up to the next president elect. As people remember the impact Justice Ginsburg had on the fight for gender equality, one bay area man has a very personal story. His front row seat to Justice Ginsburgs fight for equality for a man he knew. Jim wallace of San Francisco was in high school when in 1972 when math teacher Paula Weisenfeld died during childbirth. Her husband was not entitled to any Social Security benefits because he was not a widow. At the time only women who lost a spouse were eligible. The case known as weinberger versus weisenfeld and won. She sued all the way up to the Supreme Court, and she won equal rights for this man and his son for his ability to be able to collect Social Security benefits, the same as a woman would under the same circumstances. At the time ginsburg argued that weisenfelds contributions to Social Security were not treated on an equal basis to a mans salary. So she and her husband were being discriminated against. It was just one case of several in which ginsburg proved to be a pioneer in the fight for gender equality. Next months Time Magazine cover will honor ginsburg.

Back to our other top story now. The country has reached a sobering milestone in the fight against covid19. Now more than 200,000 americans have lost their lives to the virus. To give you some perspective to that grim number it is more than the number of americans who lost their lives in world war i and vietnam combined. Nationwide there have been more than 6. 7 million cases reported so far. Santa clara county now reporting more than 20,000 reported cases of coronavirus. Alameda county has also reached that number of cases as well. So far the bay area has reported more than 96,000 infections in total. And happening today the archbishop of San Francisco plans to lead demonstrations demanding churches be allowed to reopen. The protests are planned all throughout the morning at churches across San Francisco. At least two catholic churches in the city have been cited for ignoring Health Guidelines and Holding Events like weddings indoors. Runners may be allowed to exercise in San Francisco, but it is still unsafe to hold marathons. You may recall the San Francisco marathon is usually held in july this year it was moved to november because of the pandemic. But now marathon leaders have decided to cancel the event altogether. They say theres still too much uncertainty surrounding the spread of covid19. So runners can either participate virtually or wait until next year. Anyone with small children knows it has been tough to have them stuck inside during the pandemic, but very soon children in napa county will be able to get on the playgrounds again.

Much more ahead on today in the bay. Coming up we take you live to our weekly conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this weeks meet the press. And the fate of one of the most popular apps in the world now in the hands of the trump administration. The president now explains how tiktok operations will work if it makes a deal with the bay area tech giant. Welcome back. We now bring in chuck todd, nbc news political director and moderator of meet the press. Hi, chuck. As always, thanks for joining us this morning. Of course right down to the nittygritty about the Supreme Court opening from the loss of Justice Ruth Bader ginsbu, repu Mitch Mcconnell have the votes to replace her before the november 3rd election given so Many Republican senators are in tight reelection races, at least three off the top of my head. What do you think . Well, right now, that looks like he doesnt have the votes and, frankly, he may prefer not to try to confirm a justice before the election. And here is why. He probably wouldnt have the votes to do it. He may calculate and some sources of ours tell us this that it might be easier to get some folks to vote for this confirmation after the election not before the election. I think the most likely scenario, youll see the president name somebody, probably some time this week. I was told before the first president ial debate, which is about nine days away. So that gets done. Youll have confirmation hearings because republicans would like nothing more than to make this the issue everybody is talking about in the month of october so that people stop talking about the virus or stop talking about other stuff. That will be why they want the hearings so front and center. And then after the election, at the end of the day everybody ive talk with, nobody expects the republicans to find the votes to confirm a justice if the president loses. And ultimately i still believe that whoever wins the president ial election will end up filling the Supreme Court seat. Nobody is saying it that way yet but the way the politics are aligned here, that is still my gut how i think this will end up being even if its not the desire of those involved. T sti that topic, you did mention the desire to shift away from covid19 in october. So what about that stimulus deadlock in congress . Earlier this week the president wanted those 1,200 stimulus checks to come through. What are the chances that congress will even get to compromise on any of this for struggling americans . Im stunned that theyre going that theyre this close to the election and they never did anything. I have to be honest with you, i cant believe any of these elected officials plan to go home in the month of october going, well, we wish we could have done x and point a finger and say that. I think maybe the partisans left and right will hear your rationale but i dont know if voters in the middle were. That is where were headed and where i think theres a lot of risk for Senate Republicans in particular. Theyre not been very aggressive at trying to do Coronavirus Relief. Suddenly a senate that doesnt seem to be able to do anything can get ready to do a Supreme Court nomination in record time . The priority as far as voters are concerned between Coronavirus Relief or political power is a contrast that i think Senate Republicans ought to be careful about. And just sad to think so Many Americans are still struggling six months later. We look forward to seeing you next sunday and we hope you join chuck for this mornings meet the press. He will have an exclusive interview with former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and will talk with American Legal Affairs correspondent for National Public radio. You may not know she was close with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She will reflect on their nearly 50year friendship. It all began with a phone call when she was a new reporter and ginsburg was a law professor. Tune in to meet the press at 8 00 a. M. Right after this newscast. We hope you stick here. Coming up in 30 minutes from now we will talk with our political analyst Larry Gerston for our weekly segment. Well take a deeper look into Ruth Bader GinsburgsLasting Legacy and President Trumps plans on filling the late justices seat, quote, without delay. Speaking of President Trump, he says he is giving his blessing to a deal between tiktoks Parent Company oracle and walmart. The deal makes oracle responsible for hosting all of tiktoks u. S. Data and making sure security requirements are met. Walmart would control other aspects of the Popular Video app. The deal still isnt finalized but tiktok will not be restricted beginning today after getting that thumbs up from the president. I think its a great deal for america. They will be hiring at least 25,000 people. Itll most likely be incorporated in texas. Itll be a brandnew company. Tiktok struck a deal with oracle allowing the company to move headquarters to the u. S. Tiktoks original owners bytedance will retain a majority ownership but security will now be handled by u. S. Companies if this goes through. Now to our microclimate weather coverage. A live look in dublin this morning. Hazy, cloudy, but still that beautiful sun is breaking through.
