Pandemmys, and the shows that swept the comedy category and adding in a few friends, too a busy week ahead. Early today starts right now good morning im philip mena. And im frances rivera. A giant of the Supreme Court now casts a long shadow over the 2020 election. The late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg was truey an icon, an inspiration to a generation. Her impact felt in the growing memorials outside the Supreme Court and across the country her death on friday has already torn open a fierce new political schism President Trump and Top Republicans are vowing to quickly fill the vacancy, while joe biden says a senate vote before the election could create a constitutional crisis. Former president obama echoed his running mate, calling on republican senators to honor the same standard they set with Merrick Garland 4 1 2 years ago. The stakes dont get any higher than this, tracy reporter no, frances, they dont, because if President Trump nominates a conservative to the court, it could tip the balance of the court and affect Big Decisions on social issues and other issues for years, maybe even a generation to come. Thats why the stakes are so high here. President trump has said that he will nominate a woman to this seat, and there are at least two women that he has appointed who we believe are being considered as part of that list they include Amy Coney Barrett and judge barbara lagoa. Both of them conservatives, both of them who were previously nominated by President Trump but the big question on capitol hill right now, will this nomination, expected to happen this week, be confirmed before the election and theres a big difference between democrats and republicans whether they think that needs to happen we cant keep rewriting history, scrambling norms, ignoring our cherished system of checks and balances. Were going to move forward without delay. The right thing is for the senate to take up the election were not close to an election, were in an election to try and decide this at this late moment is despicable and wrong and against democracy. When we weigh the equities of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in our quiver. Reporter of course, this is a big about face when president obamas nominee was pushed by democrats and blocked by republicans. We also are watching the reaction as you showed the people showing up at the court over the weekend to honor Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. From what we understand, there will be a private burial at Arlington National cemetery. Frances . Tracy, thank you. A new snapshot this morning of where the race for the white house stands with less than a month and a half till election day. The latest nbc news wall Street National poll shows joe biden leading President Trump by eight points and more than 50 of voters disapprove of the president s job performance. Arguably, the president s biggest weak points is his administrations response to the pandemic an abc news poll shows only 27 of americans have confidence in President Trump to confirm the safety of a vaccine. In the nbc news and wall street journal poll, voters gave biden a double digit edge on health care and coronavirus the new poll shows biden leading by double digits with latino voters more than 200,000 americans have now died of covid19.

About 10 to 0 of people to almost all of the spreading of this disease reporter another rising concern, containing covid in schools. Im a little frightened for my health.

Reporter the impacay this week. Parts of california ablaze streets flooded along the gulf coast. Air to thick to see through in portland, oregon one side of the country on fire, another under water. And many asking what role Climate Change plays in the case of wildfires, Climate Change is increasing the area burned by the average wildfire more than doubling it since the 1980s. In the case of hurricanes, theyre not more frequent, but they are bigger and intensifying faster, theyre stronger and they have a lot more rain associated with them today so in effect, is Climate Change acting like steroids . Precisely how can these two Different Things be true at the same time . As temperature increases, more water vapor evaporates, and we get drier vegetation. So when a fire ignites it burns a greater area when a storm comes along, theres more water vapor, so that storm just dumps on us. Is there any doubt in your mind what youre seeing are signals of a warming world absolutely not.

After previously suggesting raking the forest floor was the solution the only place that raking would work is right out your back door to prevent fire from burning up to your back door reporter professor covington has worked on this issue for 45 years. While raking may be farfetched, he says we would be conducting controlled burns and stop building in fire prone areas how much time do we have to really slow this problem down or stop this problem .
