defense. the jury will ultimately decide courtney clenney's fate, but one thing is clear: there will be no winners.

a senate race comes to san francisco tonight. the four candidates taking the debate stage just three weeks ahead of super tuesday. >> i believe the greatest single currency we have as americans is the right to vote. >> we've got to get these ak 47 seconds, ghost guns and assault weapons off the streets of california. >> we have to close that gap and make sure that california and america can still be a place of opportunity for the middle class. >> we have to make the economy work for people again. >> well, the ballots are out and voters can begin weighing in on who will represent california in the united states senate. good evening everyone. i'm mike mibach and i'm julie julie haener. >> the four candidates tackled some of the biggest issues facing california, including immigration, inflation, crime and homelessness. we have live team coverage tonight of this evening's senate debate. ktvu zac sos is in san francisco, where voters gathered for a debate watch party. first,

though, we go to our political reporter, greg lee, who was at tonight's debate in the city. greg, you heard from the candidates tonight. how did they do? >> yeah. julie. mike. good evening. they covered a lot of ground in an hour, and the interactions on stage were much tamer than the first debate. these candidates seemingly feeling the urgency now that voters can vote right now in the crisis, the top four candidates in california's u.s. senate race met in san francisco for a second debate ahead of the march primary. democrat members of congress adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee, and republican steve garvey weighing in on national headlines like the failed border deal, the president should take executive order comprehensive immigration reform is necessary. >> we will not have border security until we have comprehensive immigration reform. >> on day one, the president opened the floodgates and created a crisis in the united states. he should be the one to step up and close the border. >> the race for president, also a major topic. garvey once again

pressed on his previous support for former president trump. >> constant badgering and the use of the former president's name as an attack against me to try to paint me into a corner. and that's what career politic do. >> he shouldn't be on the ballot at all. um because the constitution is quite clear. if you take an oath to defend the constitution, as he did, and then you violate that oath by engaging in insurrection, then you should be disqualified. >> this kind of back and forth between mean democrats and republicans is what people are fed up with, because they're not focusing on the question that you asked, which is one that deserves to be answered. the candidates also weighing in on president biden's age and mental acuity in the wake of the special counsel's report, the democrat s stood by biden, while garvey said he's saddened by what he sees. >> a new poll shows schiff continuing to lead the pack while porter and garvey are in a dead heat for second, with lee following behind about 29% of voters are still undecided.

>> as someone who's been consistently standing up for what is right, being a progressive champion, all of these years, i think voters are going to be able to see the distinction between all of us. >> time is running out for these candidates to make their case. ballots were sent out and in-person early voting began last week. they're battling through the airwaves to. schiff recently released an ad suggests that this is a two person race between him and garvey, portrayal that the assertion i think that voters should choose the candidates, not the other way around. >> and i think it's disappointing that representative schiff is trying to deprive californians of a robust election. all the way through november. uh, look, i think what's good for california is if we have a senator who can take on the big fights and get stuff done that is ready to step into diane feinstein's shoes and deliver for the state. >> now, there will be another senate debate between these top four candidates in los angeles next tuesday. a reminder, the top two vote getters, regardless

of party, are who advance to the november general election, reporting live in san francisco. greg lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> greg, thank you. >> and as the candidates took the stage, voters were tuning in from all across the bay area, including those that have watch party in san francisco's mission district. ktvu zac sos was there. he joins us live tonight with more on the reaction. zac and as expected, there were certainly those that arrived with 1 or 2 candidates in mind. >> others with their minds already made up. then on the other end of the spectrum, there were those who came here undecided, and some of them left feeling very differently. i'm here to learn. >> i'm an open minded voter. >> tyler nelson, among those filing into manny's in san francisco to tune in to monday's u.s. senate debate, republican frontrunner steve garvey and representatives adam schiff, katie porter and barbara lee all vying to fill a seat. long held by the late senator diane feinstein. >> i'm definitely i'm here to listen. um, but i expect to see

barbara lee make a convincing case and as always, um, i can be underwhelmed and we can see how that goes. but i'm hoping that barbara lee speaks for me as she says, wolfgang mori leaning towards oakland congress woman barbara lee after her calls for a ceasefire in gaza, the one that's most committed to the antiwar effort, the one that voted against iraq 20 years ago. others like lesley lev, essentially undecided and hoping to learn more about each candidate's positions. >> i'm familiar with barbara lee, and i certainly know who adam schiff is, but i i've only heard a little bit about katie porter. >> a great way to collect information. you get to see people's actual faces. you get to hear their platforms right from their mouth. so it's a great place to learn. >> halfway through the debate, tyler with this feedback, i'm impressed by katie porter. >> i'm less impressed by barbara lee, adam schiff, and beyond. i think they dance around questions. i think they're not being specific. i think katie porter is the only one with

communication skills, which i think is mandatory for a politician today. >> a half hour later, the debate wrapping up and wolfgang leaving with his opinions unchanged. >> i will not vote for any candidate who does not call for an immediate cease fire as for leslie, i had some very favorable impressions of katie porter before, and that has sort of cemented my feeling about katie porter. >> and i also fond of adam schiff, but i think maybe i'm leaning toward katie porter, possibly. >> and one other big takeaway it was very nice to see a civilized debate by the way, where people did not scream at each other. yeah, hard to argue with leslie there. it was a fairly polite debate, wasn't it? next up, voters will have their say during the primaries in march. mike a few weeks away. >> zac sos live tonight in san francisco. zach. thank you. voters in mendocino county will be getting new ballots to replace the ones that were already mailed out. the county clerk says everyone in the county received the republican ballot for the county's first

things happen, happens everywhere. >> our neighbors are the eyes and ears of our police force. they can't be everywhere all at once. so i would just encourage everyone. if you see something, say something. >> now, we did see the coroner's office bringing a body outside of the home just before 9:00, and police did not tell us who made the welfare check call or how long they had been deceased inside of the home. now, police are still investigating, and they're asking if anyone has any information to please contact the san mateo police department. mike lamonica peters live tonight in san mateo. >> lamonica. thank you. frustrated business owners in oakland say they are ready to take the city to court over the recent rising crime. just this morning, hummus spot juice bar and cafe at seminary and foothill was burglarized and the owner telling ktvu the suspect stole a cash register and caused thousands of dollars in damage. the bay area small merchants chamber of commerce says some

cease fire agreement for a six week pause in fighting, hoping eventually for a two state solution in every innocent life in gaza is a tragedy, just as every innocent life lost in israel is a tragedy as well. >> 3 million out of the 11 million population of the jordanians are palestinians. >> mahmoud monshipour is professor of international relations at san francisco state university. he says only jordan and egypt have peace treaties with israel in the middle east, israel and jordan. >> in 1994 signed a peace treaty at and that has really contributed to stability in the region, monshipour says. >> egypt has indicated its peace treaty could be in jeopardy if israel continues its attacks. >> the implications of that would be tremendous. uh, an and really will cause, uh, a humanitarian disaster of, ah, unprecedented scale. the united nations security council held an

off the bat, just so you can get an idea what that five day is going to look like in a few minutes. the weather is going to be nice the next couple of days with clouds, and then we get into something wednesday and then again on kind of friday night into saturday and sunday. so you'll see it depicted here in kind of a broad brush way. but here we go through tomorrow. and now we work our way into wednesday morning. there's your rain. not a big deal, but there it is for wednesday. a weak system, nothing like what's to come this weekend. this weekend looks like a pretty good, good weather system. so this is wednesday. so it looks like wednesday day over wednesday afternoon commute through the overnight hours. and then by thursday morning dry there's thursday. there's this system looks good but it shows up about friday night basically. and that's going to be a wet saturday. it's going to be kind of clearing up saturday afternoon and overnight sunday. and then we get back into this on sunday and monday. we'll see how it goes. i mean that that basic that that'll basically happen. it just won't be the timing will change by 5 or 4 or

five hours. perhaps the positioning, the latitude, the longitude of the trough will go up or down. perhaps and that'll make some differences. but that basic plan is in place. so if i'm planning my weekend, i'm going okay, saturday looks pretty wet. maybe not so much in the afternoon. sunday looks pretty wet as well, so i'll think about that. so you just kind of have to plan around. these were the highs from today. highs tomorrow are going to be just a little bit cooler with a few more clouds. >> all right bill, thank you. well today marks the 20th anniversary of a key moment that took place in san francisco in the legal battle for marriage equality for same sex couples. it has been called the winter of love. when san francisco began issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples, then mayor gavin newsom defied the federal ban on gay marriage and put in motion a nearly decades long legal battle on the road to the supreme court's landmark ruling in 2013, establishing a constitutional right to marriage equality nationwide. today, we spoke with a same sex couple who was among the first to be

married that historic day. >> i realize this was the first time in our lives as lgbtq couples couple and as an lgbt person for ourselves, but this was the first time in our lives that our government was treating us as equal human beings. >> in 2008, john lewis and stuart gaffney later joined other plaintiffs in a lawsuit that overturned california's ban on same sex marriages. the couple married a second time, legally later that year, and right now, san francisco city hall is lit up in the color of the pride flag to honor this anniversary, the city says these colors celebrate the historic marriages that took place 20 years ago. >> a new sign for the wilma chan highland hospital campus has been installed. the hospital was renamed in chan's honor two years ago. she served in the state assembly and the alameda county board of supervisors, and
