there s too much political violence. there s too much intimidation. there are more than 300 election deniers on the republican tickets this year for state, federal, and local government. [ boos ] this is really serious stuff. if a republican nominee for governor in the state of wisconsin wins, here s what he said. he said, if i win, my party will never lose another election in wisconsin. he s either a prophet or he plans on doing something about election law. that s president joe biden in california last night. his latest stop in a jam-packed campaign schedule before the final days of the campaign. willie, you ve got these republican candidates that believe in american democracy only if they win. yeah. we ve played the laundry list of them. senator ron johnson was on yesterday talking to our own shaquille brewster inside the state of wisconsin. shaquille asked him simply if you lose will you honor the results? we ll have to see what happens. his words, i don t know what t
a pretty low lying area. that storm surge they re preparing for, what exactly might that look like when it comes to the businesses and the homes in that area? reporter: well, to give you a sense of howe things look where we are right now, we re at a park that s surrounded by three bays, the old tampa bay, the tampa bay and then that third bay. what they re worried about, especially the folks in pinellas county, that storm surge is going to flood things no matter what. even if that forecast track ends up having ian moving parallel to tampa bay and the tampa area, they still believe we re going to see a lot of that water making its way inland. so they want folks to go ahead and come out and get these sandbags. the lines at these three locations were pretty long. it s our understanding they re going to continue to do this today and tomorrow and most likely into wednesday. however, emergency officials again have been telling folks, try to get this done early because we could
