Legal proceedings are just now beginning. If biden manages to hang on to pennsylvania and the 20 electoral votes there he crosses the line to 270 and its over. He could also take nevada and arizona.

Some including the president spewing basis claims for fraud, what we have seen in philadelphia is democracy pure and simple. Reporter in pennsylvania biden was behind in the vote count until early this morning. In Georgia State officials are disputing claims by trump that their ballot counting operations are biased.

A few locations where gop support is strong. Solano county has the Largest Group in the bay area. Reporter Solano County is diverse, stretching from the bay deep into the central valley. We have 260,000 registered voters, 60,000 are registered as republican. Solano county is a republican stronghold because there is such a Strong Military presence with the air force base. Reporter approximately 30 of those voted by mail and 55 of those that went to the polls voted for President Trump. I didnt realize that there were that many Trump Supporters here. Reporter at this Grocery Store parking lot it is not difficult to walk up to people and strike up a conversation and find Trump Supporters who are willing to talk. Some even mentioned they have gotten backlash on social media for their views. I would never thought in a million years i would get the commentary on me just having a different opinion and me not being liberal. I supported trump. A lot of people say that is racist even though he mentioned he would donate 500 billion towards black communities. They bad mouth President Trump, he is our president. Reporter going into the weekend, there could be more visible reaction. I am getting calls from organizers in napa, solano, southern california. However the election ends up, i am not going to be protesting or be upset or yelling at people that supported biden. At the end of the day everybody wants the country to be better.

Hey, bay area, its time to share some Amazing Stories and feel good. We could all use some inspiration right now, and youve come to the right place. This show is all about good food, good people, and good living. On todays show, its getting hot. This is a family recipe. It has been passed by from generations through generations. Joy through coffee. We want to bring people together through the power of coffee and tea. The heart of napa valley. To walk the whole town, you can go back and forth. You can spend three days here and never have to leave the street. But first, San Francisco strong. What makes San Francisco such a great city i mean, look around. This is a beautiful, beautiful city. The geography, the human design, the architecture, the history, the newness, the future is right at our fingertips. We are sitting in a unique place, a place that is worth protecting, worth fighting for. I think we all agree, though, that we want San Francisco to be a thriving place, where everybody, at any level, can survive and be incredibly happy. This great city is surrounded by smart people, creative people engineers, inventors, hardcore business people, people who love the arts, people of faith. And when we all come together, what San Francisco has, its a beautiful thing. Its a symphony. Its a concert of diversity of minds, style, culture, and we need to make sure that we rebuild San Francisco together. The San Francisco chamber of commerce 170th anniversary this year covid year. But it actually is a transitional year for the chamber of commerce. Obviously helping businesses get back into business. Working with city hall to help make sure that San Francisco is vibrant with Small Businesses, arts and culture, and its an exciting time, to be honest. Jacks has been open since 1950. They are open for business right now here on sutter street and Market Street. Things in San Francisco are coming alive. Were starting to feel the energy right down here on Market Street and sutter and feeling good. Its so important that the chamber is celebrating its 170th anniversary. I mean, its all the gold rush, its all the earthquake. Its all so many different things. And it is there is a weird way to help in tough times. Its there to help in great times, but its also there to help put the pieces back together again, to be the Umbrella Organization that helps really small microbusinesses to bigger, Larger Companies that really have to get back on our feet. Theres a lot going on, and while that is a scary time for all of us, this is an opportunity for change, an opportunity to grow the city in transition yet one more time. And so the chamber of commerce, in a weird way, were celebrating 170 years, but we are also looking way, way into the future as far as we can and make some good decisions. The districts of San Francisco, the neighborhoods of San Francisco really are truly what people fall in love with. And those districts were created by cultural differences, but they are what made San Francisco so cool and makes people travel from around the world to see what is going on here. With covid, one thing i think its really taught us, from a business perspective, is the importance of Small Business near where you live. So its a strange opportunity for the city to redefine itself, to discover what was right under our nose and not have to traverse across the city or across the bay area. Im really hopeful that San Francisco, together as a community, we a collective we reshape the city, arm in arm. Were going to need each other to rebuild the city back together again. Were here in the heart of Fishermans Wharf, right here on jefferson street and taylor. Historic restaurants, historic fishing boats. The construction noise that you hear behind me is the building and the completion of the Fishermans Wharf public realm plan along jefferson street. The businesses and commerce coming out to the streets is so important for San Francisco to move forward. Obviously, for covid reasons, its so important. Were gonna make sure that we try to help all these businesses open up, thrive, and go right into the future. These streets are the streets that i grew up on here. My grandfather opened the wax museum in 19,
