The chair of the dnc, Debbie Wasserman schultz, announced shes stepping down at the end of the week. Shes been coming under fire following the publication of hacked emails suggesting the dnc committee favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the president ial primaries. Good morning. Welcome to philadelphia. Reporter as almost 50,000 delegates pour into the city, theyre met with a flood of uncertainty as dnc chair Debbie Wasserman schultz abruptly steps down. The florida congresswoman has been under fire following the publication of hacked emails, suggesting her committee favored Hillary Clinton in the president ial primaries. Her republican counterpart responds. But when you rig a system and, you know, you spread emails around with each other and senior staff in that manner, i think this kind of outcome is inevitable.

Hell visit Lackawanna College in scranton on wednesday. The shakeup at the dnc, but not Hillary Clintons choice of senator tim kaine as a running mate. What happened with the choice of tim kaine was a slap in the face to Bernie Sanders and everybody. I was shocked. I love it from my standpoint. Reporter a new online poll of key battleground states shows a bit of a bounce for trump. His supporters rose to 42 , one point ahead of clinton. While trump wasnt impressed with clintons vp pick, most delegates like kaine. The running mates appeared on 60 minutes, where they differed on donald trump attacking the Presumptive Democratic nominee as crooked hillary. I dont call him anything, and im not going to engage in that kind of insults fest that he seems to thrive on. When i see this, you know, crooked hillary or i see the lock her up, it is just ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Clinton said at the rnc, the republicans offered no positive agenda and presented a very dark, divisive campaign. Trumps tone and character will be a main target at the dnc this week.

Now, look how close they are to the stage. Got a really, really good seat. Thats the stage up there. And behind that podium, those are actually doors. You cant tell the way theyre closed right now, but we saw them opening and closing earlier. Now, let me take you back from pennsylvania. If you go around here, im going to take you over to new jersey. Now, you may remember during the rn, it was new jersey that was up very, very close with governor Chris Christie sitting right in the front there. Now, heres where new jersey is sitting this time at the dnc. Youll also notice things are a little different here than they were at the rnc. In cleveland, all of the delegates were actually on the floor, on the ground. Here it goes all the way up into the seats. Thats in part because the democrats have more delegates than the republicans, just the way their numbers work. They use more. So, new jersey is sitting right here. Then if you go over here, you can see delaware is going to be sitting right there. So, that is a look at how things are set up here at the dnc in philadelphia. While were getting a tour all the way around, a little love story unfoldled here at the Wells Fargo Center earlier today with a political proposal. This is video of a Marriage Proposal on stage at the dnc today. The couple works on studio 2016, the live preshow program for the convention. Nbc 10 caught up with the happy couple afterwards.

Getting up on stage, i thought we were just taking another photo together, but it turned out to be probably the best photo that well ever have. Andrew said the key to pulling this off was telling as few people as possible to make sure it stayed a secret. But if i can speak from experience with the security, my goodness, i dont know how they got away with that with secret service out here. Count on nbc 10 to track all the buzz, including proposals coming from the Democratic National convention. Well broadcast live from the Wells Fargo Center every day at the dnc.

Well, the dnc delegates and anybody going down in and around the area of the dnc, really going to have to battle the heat, especially tomorrow. Temperatures not cooling off very quickly. This evening its currently 82 degrees in philadelphia, 81 still in allentown. Weve got 81 in wilmington. A little cooler in vineland at 75 degrees. And were watching just this little blip on radar here. This started out as a fairly strong system to the west, but as it pushed to the east, it sort of is dying out. And we could get a few, little isolated showers moving through the area through the overnight, but that doesnt look like a big deal, and guess what, its not expected to cool us off any. More heat and humidity building in for tomorrow. As that heat and humidity builds tomorrow for our monday, yes, very tropicallike elements in place, a very unstable atmosphere. And so, right about 2 00, we do expect this particular weather model showing a line of rain storm cells setting up. Could have some convection embeed there. And then pushing right on through, this is here 5 30. Weve got some potentially severe cells in there with thunder and lightning, strong winds. So, well keep an eye on out for tomorrow afternoon into the evening hours, leaving behind clouds for monday into tuesday with some residual shower activity, but then it will clear out for tuesday. Excessive heat warning in effect for tomorrow until 6 00 p. M. For all the area here in the pink, and then the orange indicating heat advisory. That will go into effect for the entire region tomorrow. And boathouse row all decorated in red, white and blue to welcome the dnc, and this is our temperature reading right now. 82 in philadelphia. Well drop just a bit. Temperatures overnight, we are looking for them to be in the mid to upper 70s. So, humidity will be building as we move through the overnight hours. Waking up tomorrow morning, if you step out early, you will feel dew points on the rise. So, well give you the tenday forecast. 99 degrees in philadelphia. Thats what were shooting for for a High Temperature tomorrow, but you add in the humidity, its going to feel more like 105 tomorrow. So, really, if you can stay indoors, take the heat seriously. You dont want to exert yourself too much or stay outdoors for too long tomorrow because we have that excessive heat warning. Well drop down little bit on tuesday, 96 degrees. 94 by wednesday. But look at this, we stay in the lower 90s all the way through the rest of the. We get a cold front that comes in thursday into friday and that could kick off some storms. It isnt until next weekend that we get back to normal High Temperatures of about 87 degrees. All right, karen. Thank you.

The reshuffled offensive line will be a major story line in Training Camp. According to pro football focus, the birds had the second best offensive line two years ago. That ranking fell to 12th last season as chip kelly shipped out both starting guards and the replacements struggled to keep up. Brandon brooks was signed this offseason to right the ship, and hes already bonded with his new teammates. A couple of times we to jason kelces house, got with him all the time. And me and lane, we talk a few times a week and i try to do the same with jason peters. Then as far as when were in the classroom, kelce and peters, any question i have as far as offense or as far as how i want to take my game to the next level, i look to those guys to help get me there, kind of like mentor me, you know, on and off the field. So, it was pretty important keeping in contact. The preseason opener is less than three weeks away, on thursday, august 11th. You can watch all of the eagles preseason games on csn or nbc 10.

Nbcs lester holt has her story. This is president row in my den. Reporter she vividly recalls her first democratic convention. Well, it was 1952, and i was very excited. I was a 22yearold at that time. I was the youngest person in the convention hall. And there was a little fuss over that. Reporter she hasnt missed a convention since, except the raucous 1968 gathering in chicago. My husband went, and he kept saying, theres rioting in the streets, im glad youre not here. Reporter this week will mark rozs 16th convention. Shes seen a lot of history along the way, and this one she knows wont disappoint. What will it be like to hear a woman nominated as the democratic nominee . It means more than i can possibly describe. Reporter the 1960 convention in los angeles is pretty important to her, too, but for a different reason. It is time, in short, for a new generation of leadership. Reporter john f. Kennedy was the president ial nominee, and wyman worked to have the acceptance speech outside the los angeles coliseum instead of inside at the sports arena. And Bobby Kennedy looked at me, and he says, youve lost your mind were going to take them out. Its never been done. And i said, well, thats why we should do it. Reporter in 1994, she chaired the San Francisco convention and was gifted a piece of the podium that she still keeps at home. 2008 was bittersweet for wyman. I accept your nomination. Reporter she had hoped it would be Hillary Clinton accepting the nomination. We didnt make it in 08, and i was excited for obama, and i loved him as a president. Reporter in 16 conventions, this 85yearold has left her mark in many ways, but what happens this week, she believes, will be hard to top. You want us to look back and see this as historic . Oh, its historic automatically because of hillary. But i would like it to reflect the beliefs of our party and what she believes in.
