[ MUSIC ]>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR KPBS EVENING EDITION HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE BILL HOWE FAMILY OF COMPANIES, PROVIDING SAN DIEGO WITH PLUMBING, HEATING, AND AIR RESTORATION.

[ MUSIC ] BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION, AND BY THE FOLLOWING SPONSORS.

ADDED BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> A HUGE CROWD GATHERED IN SAN DIEGO TO CALL FOR A CEASE- FIRE IN GAZA.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

A GROUP AT UC SAN DIEGO WAS AMAZINGLY MAINLY MADE UP OF THE STUDENTS, ORGANIZERS BELIEVE IT IS THE BIGGEST PROTEST THE CAMPUS HAS EVER SEEN.

JOHN CAROL IS THERE WITH MORE.>> Reporter: I'M HERE ON THE MATTHEWS QUAD, AND IT IS QUIET HERE NOW.

THAT WAS NOT THE CASE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.

THROUGH THE RAIN, HE COULD STILL SEE UC SAN DIEGO POLICE STANDING BY.

THERE WAS QUITE A SECURITY PRESENCE THIS AFTERNOON.>> WE CANNOT STAND SILENT AND BE COMPLICIT.>> Reporter: STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE ORGANIZED FOR WHAT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST PROTEST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS CAMPUS.

IT LOOKS TO BE SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE HERE.

VARIOUS SPEAKERS CALLED FOR ISRAEL TO GET OUT OF GAZA, ACCUSING THE JEWISH STATE OF GENOCIDE.

ONE PERSON FROM JEWISH VOICES FOR PEACE DOES HAVE A RESPONSE, SAYING THERE WAS A CALL FOR AN END TO THE SUPPORT OF TERRORISM.

EARLIER TODAY I SPOKE WITH KAREN PERRY, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF A GROUP THAT SUPPORTS JEWISH STUDENTS AT MAJOR UNIVERSITIES IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA.

I ASKED HER WHAT QUESTION SHE WOULD ASK TO A PROTESTER HERE.

YOU WILL HEAR THAT, AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION FROM A PROTESTER WHO DID NOT WANT TO IDENTIFY HERSELF.>> I WOULD ASK WHAT THE DIALOGUE LOOKS LIKE, FINDING OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD BRIDGES BRIDGES, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ALL IN THIS WORLD TOGETHER, AND I THINK THERE ARE TRUE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT, AND I WONDER WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.>> I WOULD LOVE TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK TOWARD CREATING A JEWISH VOICE FOR PEACE, PEACE IS IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.

WE HAVE STARTED WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF THE NEW ORGANIZATION ON CAMPUS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT DIGGER, AND WORK MORE TOGETHER.>> THAT IS A NEW CHAPTER OF JEWISH VOICES FOR PEACE, HERE ON CAMPUS.

A LOT OF STUDENTS PRAYED BEFORE SETTING OFF ON A MARCH AROUND CAMPUS.

NOW, SOMETHING SEVERAL SPEAKERS SAID IS THAT THEY SUPPORT A DEMAND BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF UC SAN DIEGO FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM ANY MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING ON ISRAELI CONCERNS, SPECIFICALLY THEY SAID THEY DO NOT WANT THE UNIVERSITY TO SPEND ANY OF THE $7 MILLION BUDGET ON COMPANIES THAT DO BUSINESS IN ISRAEL.

JOHN CAROL, REPORTING WITH KPBS NEWS.>>> LET'S LOOK AHEAD IN TIME.

TONIGHT WE ARE TRACKING ACTIVE WEATHER, MOVING INTO THE AREA.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE, WITH THE LOW DROPPING DOWN TO THE MIDDLE 50s.

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TRACK HOW LONG THIS RAIN IS GOING TO STICK AROUND, AND WHEN WE COULD EVEN SEE SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW, AND WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO RISE AGAIN.

STAY TUNED.

>>> NIKKI HALEY HAS SUSPENDED HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AFTER BEING SOUNDLY DEFEATED BY DONALD TRUMP ON SUPER TUESDAY.

SHE HAD THIS MESSAGE FOR TRUMP, AND THE GOP, AT A SPEECH THE OTHER DAY.

>> MARGARET THATCHER PROVIDED SOME GOOD ADVICE WHEN SHE SAID "NEVER JUST FOLLOW THE CROWD, ALWAYS MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND."

IT IS NOW UP TO DONALD TRUMP TO EARN THE VOTES OF THOSE IN OUR PARTY AND BEYOND WHO DID NOT SUPPORT HIM, AND I HOPE HE DOES THAT.>> THE RACE FOR SENATE WILL FEATURE THE CONGRESSMAN WHO HELPS TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND ADAM SCHIFF AND REPUBLICAN STEVE GARVEY ARE AT THE TOP VOTE GETTERS.

WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST RESULTS IN THE SECOND.

ADAM SCHIFF IS A LONGTIME AUDITION TRYING TO MOVE FROM THE HOUSE TO THE SENATE, AND GARVEY IS A FIRST-TIME CANDIDATE.

>> TRUMP WOULD ATTACK ME AFTER RALLY AFTER RALLY.

ALL THOSE THINGS WERE BASICALLY WHAT WE WOULD CALL WEDNESDAY.

YOU HAD MY BACK EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.>> WHAT YOU ARE ALL FEELING TONIGHT, IT'S WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HIT A WALK-OFF HOME RUN.

KIND OF LIKE SAN DIEGO IN 1984.>> ADAM SCHIFF ACTUALLY SUPPORTED GARVEY IN THE PRIMARY, SHE HELP CLEAR THE FIELD OF OTHER DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING KATIE PORTER AND BARBARA LEE.

PORTER MAY GO TO WASHINGTON FOR A WHILE.

HE IS LEADING FOR THE QUESTION OF WHO WILL SERVE THE REMAINDER OF DIANNE FEINSTEIN'S TERM.

A NEW CONGRESS WILL BE SWORN IN, IN JANUARY.

>>> IT WAS A GOOD ELECTION NIGHT FOR INCUMBENTS IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL INCOME'S SEEM TO BE CRUISING TO RE-ELECTION.

>> MAYOR TODD GLORIA WAS FEELING GOOD AT THE ELECTION NIGHT PARTY, HOSTED BY DEMOCRATS.

HE HOLDS 50% OF THE VOTE.

HE THANKED HIS SUPPORTERS, AND SAID HIS MESSAGE IS RESONATING WITH VOTERS.>> WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE TOGETHER OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

PAVE MORE ROADS, HOW IS MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE, BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR WORKING AND MIDDLE-CLASS SAN DIEGO, AND KEEPING SAN DIEGO ONE OF THE SAFEST BIG CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY.>> POLICE OFFICER LARRY TURNER IS IN A DISTANT SECOND PLACE.

HE WILL FACE GLORIA IN THE NOVEMBER RUNOFF, IF HE CAN OVERCOME A LAWSUIT CLAIMING HE FAILED TO ESTABLISH RESIDENCY IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO BY THE REQUIRED DEADLINE.

TURNER SAYS THE LAWSUIT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LITTLE GO AHEAD JOB.

>> THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO DO STUFF TO TRICK PEOPLE BEFORE MARCH 5.

KEEP DOING IT, GO AHEAD AND SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A SILLY LAWSUIT AND FICTION STORIES, GO AHEAD, I'M GOING TO JUST KEEP TELLING THE STORY.

>> IF TURNER IS DEEMED INELIGIBLE, HIS SPOT WOULD GO TO THE THIRD PLACE CANDIDATE.

IN THE CITY COUNCIL RACES, STEPHEN WOULD BURN IS THE INCUMBENT REPRESENTING DISTRICT 3, WITH A 35 POINT LEAD OVER SECOND-PLACE CHALLENGER COLLEEN CUSACK.

AND A SPECIAL ELECTION THEY CAN SEE IS ABOUT TO BE SETTLED WITHOUT A RUNOFF.

HENRY FOSTERED THE THIRD HAS MORE THAN 50% OF THE VOTE.

HE SAYS DISTRICT VOTERS WANT THE ELECTION SETTLED.

>> I THINK THEY REALLY FEEL THAT THEIR VOICES HAVE NOT BEEN HEARD, A LOT OF DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE, WE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE DISASTER OF THE FLOODS.

I THINK THEY ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO REPRESENTATION.>> THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGISTRAR OF VOTERS ESTIMATES TURNOUT IN THE PRIMARY WILL BE AROUND 36%.

THAT IS WELL BELOW TURNOUT IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, WHEN TOP OF THE BALLOT RACES WERE MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE.

>>> IN CHULA VISTA, THE RACE FOR THE DISTRICT FOR CITY COUNCIL SEAT IS STILL UP IN THE AIR.

REPORTER COREY SUZUKI JOINS US IN THE NEWSROOM.

IT APPEARS NO CANDIDATE HAS A DECISIVE LEAD YET.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

EARLY RETURNS SHOW THE VOTE SPLIT BETWEEN THREE LEADING CANDIDATES.

THE TOP CANDIDATES IN THIS RACE WILL MOVE ON TO A RUNOFF IN NOVEMBER, BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR WHO THAT WILL BE YET.

RIGHT NOW, CAESAR FERNANDEZ AND RUDY RAMIREZ HAVE A NARROW LEAD.

FERNANDEZ IS A SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIAL, RAMIREZ IS A FORMER CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.

CLOSE BEHIND THEM IS ANDREA CARDENAS, THE MOST RECENT COUNCIL MEMBER, WHO RESIGNED LAST MONTH, AND PLED GUILTY TO GRAND THEFT OF STATE AND RURAL TAXPAYERS.

EARLIER VOTING HAD ALREADY STARTED, SO HER NAME IS STILL ON THE BALLOT.

AND THERE'S A CHANCE SHE COULD BE IN THE RUNNING TO MOVE ON TO THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

>> IT SEEMS THEY HAVE MOROSELY CONFIRMED THE ELECTION RESULTS FROM LAST NIGHT.

HOW ARE THE TOP CANDIDATES FEELING AT THIS POINT?>> I THINK FERNANDEZ AND RAMIREZ ARE FEELING GOOD RIGHT NOW.

FERNANDEZ SAYS HE IS GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT SO FAR.

IN A STATEMENT, HE SAID THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE DISTRICT IS TIRED OF POLITICS AS USUAL, AND HE'S READY TO RESTORE TRUST IN THE GOVERNMENT.

RUDY RAMIREZ IS COST US CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.

>> THE MARGINS ARE SO TIGHT, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

EVERYBODY IS CLUSTERED TOGETHER.

I HAVE A FEELING IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT, SO WE ARE GOING TO BE STANDING BY TO SEE HOW THINGS PLAY OUT.>> ANDREA DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

>> COULD YOU TELL US HOW THIS RACE POSSIBLY COULD PLAY OUT?

>> A PRIMARY VICTORY FOR RUDY RAMIREZ AND FERNANDEZ WOULD BE THE CLEAREST OUTCOME.

THEY COULD BOTH MOVE ON TO THE GENERAL ELECTION.

CARDENAS WOULD BE OUT OF THE RUNNING FOR GOOD.

IF THE PHONE COUNT CHANGES IN HER FAVOR, AND SHE WAS TO THE RUNOFF INSTEAD, THINGS CAN GET REALLY CONFUSING AGAIN.

SHE RESIGNED LAST MONTH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TOOK THAT TO MEAN SHE WAS PULLING OUT OF THE ELECTION, BUT HER ATTORNEY HAS TOLD AT LEAST ONE REPORTER THAT IF SHE DOES MOVE TO THE RUNOFF AND SOMEHOW WINS IN NOVEMBER, SHE MIGHT ACTUALLY TRY TO REJOIN THE CITY COUNCIL.

HER LAWYER DID NOT RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR COMMENT LAST NIGHT.

IT IS STILL A LITTLE UNCLEAR IF LOCAL ELECTION RULES WOULD STOP HER FROM GOING BACK TO A COUNCIL SEAT.>> EARLY LOOKS AT THE CITY ATTORNEY, VERDUGO HAS 60% OF THE VOTE.

THIS IS THE RUNOFF TO THE SPECIAL ELECTION HELD LAST NOVEMBER.

IF VERDUGO HOLDS ON, HE COULD BE SWORN IN AS EARLY AS APRIL.

WE GOT THE REACTION TO BOTH CANDIDATES.>> WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE VOTE TO BE COUNTED, AND THE ELECTION TO BE CERTIFIED, BUT THERE IS NOBODY IN THAT SEAT.

CHULA VISTA IS IN NEED OF A FULL-TIME CITY ATTORNEY.

AND SO, I LOOK FORWARD TO JUMPING IN THERE.>> WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE.

WE HAD A GOOD CANDIDATES.

I WISH THE NUMBERS WERE BETTER, MAYBE THE RESULTS WILL CHANGE.

I'M REALLY HOPEFUL, AND THANKFUL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT, AND I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE DID.>> IT'S NOT JUST REGISTERED VOTERS FOCUSED ON THE PRIMARIES, STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED AS WELL.

COMING UP, WHAT LOCAL KIDS ARE LEARNING ABOUT POLITICS.>>> SAN DIEGO UNIFIED HAS APPROVED MASS LAYOFFS AS IT NAVIGATES A $94 MILLION BUDGET DEFICIT.

THE SCHOOL BOARD UNANIMOUSLY VOTED ON LAYOFFS IN A MEETING LAST NIGHT.

WORTHEN 400 POSITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING TEACHERS, SCHOOLS, SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF, CAFETERIA WORKERS, AND MORE.

SOME SAY THERE WAS ALREADY A STAFF SHORTAGE.>> THIS IS NO EXCUSE TO BE PARALYZED, AND TO RESORT TO LAYOFF NOTICES IS A BLUNT MEASURE TO THE PROBLEM WE HAVE.

SPECIAL EDUCATION VACANCIES COULD GET WORSE IF EDUCATORS DECIDE NOT TO APPLY FOR THOSE POSITIONS, WHEN THEY SEE THE HEADLINES ABOUT THE RASH DECISION TO ISSUE LAYOFF NOTICES.

>> THE BOARD SAYS ALL EMPLOYEES WILL BE NOTIFIED BY NEXT WEEK, BUT THEY WILL TRY TO REDUCE THE TENSILE LAYOFFS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.

A CLOSE BOARD SESSION TOOK PLACE THIS AFTERNOON.

>>> AMERICANS HAVE BEEN BANKING ON INTEREST RATE CUTS, HOPING FOR A REPRIEVE AFTER TWO YEARS OF INTERESTS INCREASES AND WRITTEN COSTS.>> WE'VE COVERED A LOT OF GROUND, AND THE FULL EFFECT OF THE TIGHTENING IS YET TO BE FELT.>> THAT WAS THE GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS MESSAGE ON THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY.

>> INFLATION IS ABOVE WHERE WE EXPECTED AT 2%, BUT IT HAS EASED SUBSTANTIALLY.>> EASING INFLATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT AT NEAR HISTORIC LOWS WERE POSITIVES THAT WERE HIGHLIGHTED, BUT THEY CAME AT A PRICE MANY CONSUMERS ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH.>> THEY RAISE THE POLICY INTEREST RATE BY 5 1/4%.

>> SOARING INTEREST RATES WERE KEY IN THE CAMPAIGN THAT SPANNED 11 HIKES AND LEVELED LAST SUMMER.>> THE COMMITTEE DOES NOT THINK IT WILL BE APPROPRIATE TO REDUCE THE TARGET RANGE UNTIL HE GETS GREATER CONFIDENCE THAT WE ARE MOVING SUSTAINABLY.>> CHAIRMAN POWELL SAID THE BANK WOULD SOLD HOLD STEADY FOR NOW.

HE HELD A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR EASING RATES DOWN THE ROAD.

>> IT WILL BE LIKELY APPROPRIATE TO BEGIN DIALING BACK POLICY AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR.>>> THE 2024 PRIMARY ELECTION HAD NEAR RECORD LOW VOTER TURNOUT, WITH JUST 22% OF VOTERS IN SAN DIEGO PARTICIPATING.

THE REST OF THE NATION IS SEEING ABOUT THE SAME NUMBERS.

WE SPOKE WITH A POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR WHO OFFERED EXPLANATIONS FOR WHY THAT IS.

SHE SAYS A LOT OF THE SAME FACES WERE ON THE BALLOT, FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE TO LOCAL OFFICIALS.

AND A LACK OF CONTRIBUTION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE.

>> IT WILL COST SOME MONEY TO TAXPAYERS, IT WILL MOVE THINGS AROUND.

WHEN THINGS ARE COMPLICATED LIKE THIS, THEY SET UP 68 PAGES IN THE VOTER GUIDE TO EXPLAIN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VOTERS READ 68 PAGES.

AT THAT POINT I THINK A LOT OF THE VOTERS VOTE NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, I'M NOT SURE WITH A LITTLE DUE, I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD VOTE FOR US.>> BALLOTS ARE STILL BEING COUNTED, PROP ONE WILL COME DOWN TO THE WIRE.

THEY WILL UPDATE ELECTION RESULTS BY 5 PM TOMORROW, AND EVERY DAY AT 5 PM UNTIL MARCH 9.

AND NOW THAT SUPER TUESDAY IS OVER, ATTENTION MOVES ON TO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST ELIGIBLE VOTERS PAYING ATTENTION.

ANGIE PEREZ TAKES US TO THE CLASSROOM, WHERE CURRENT POLITICS PROVIDE LEARNING IN REAL TIME.>> THE HARDEST PART IS THE PAPER, WORTH 75% OF YOUR GRADE.

>> VINCE MARTINEZ IS SPEAKING TO HIS STUDENTS TAKING AN ADVANCED PLACEMENT CLASS IN RESEARCH.

THEY ARE A MIX OF JUNIORS AND SENIORS.

MANY OF THEM WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.>> I THINK THE ADULTS IN POWER ARE DOING A REALLY BAD JOB.>> 17- YEAR-OLD OLIVIA IS IN THE AP RESEARCH CLASS, WORKING ON AN INVESTIGATION OF SEXISM, AND ITS IMPACT ON THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE WORLD TODAY.>> I AM WORRIED, BUT I ALSO THINK IF WE BAND TOGETHER AND TRY, WE CAN MAKE CHANGES THAT CAN HELP.>> SHE AND HER CLASSMATES ARE AMONG THE MOST ADVANCED STUDENTS, BUT THEY ARE STILL PART OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA GENERATION INUNDATED WITH INFORMATION FROM SOURCES SEEKING TO INFLUENCE THEM.>> THE PRIMARY MOTIVE MAY BE PROFIT, IT MAY BE CONTENT, CLICKS, WE LIKE TO CALL IT CLICK BAIT.

THEY TRUST THESE VOICES AND SOURCES TO BE FACTUAL, WHEN THEY ARE NOT.>> I'M INVESTIGATING MISINFORMATION WITHIN POLITICS.

>> BRADY PETERS WAS SCROLLING THROUGH INSTAGRAM, FLOODED WITH POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ADS ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY AND BEYOND, WHEN HE STUMBLED ON HIS CLASS RESEARCH TOPIC.

SO IT WOULD GO FROM A SMALL IDEA TO MORE EXTREME AS YOU SCROLL THROUGH EVERYTHING.

>> BRADY HAS COMPLETED COLLECTING DATA FROM 114 STUDENTS AT HIS SCHOOL.

THEY ALL COMPLETED A SURVEY AFTER WATCHING GROUPS IN PAIRS OF POLITICAL AD VIDEOS.>> ONE IN EACH OF TWO WERE FALSE, BUT I DID NOT TAKE THE - - I DID NOT TELL THEM WHICH ONE WAS FALSE.

I WANT THEM TO SEE HOW TRUTHFUL THEY THINK IT WAS.

>> AT WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL IN CITY HEIGHTS, THERE'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF INVESTIGATION HAVE BEEN, AS SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS WATCHED DAILY CNN, THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT CALL POLITICS IN THE ADULT WORLD, AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE BIGGEST PLAYERS.

MICHAEL WILLIAMS IS THE TEACHER.

>> THEY KNOW THE BIG NAMES LIKE JOE BIDEN AND DONALD TRUMP, THEY KNOW WHO VLADIMIR PUTIN IS.

>> 11 AND 12-YEAR-OLDS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A CONTEXT FOR NATIONAL AND WORLD EVENTS, SO WILLIAMS USES A STRATEGY CALLED SCAFFOLDING, WHERE HE STARTS WITH CONCEPTS THEY UNDERSTAND, THEN PROVIDING LESS SUPPORT AS THEY MASTER CONTENT.

THEY ARE JUST A COUPLE ELECTIONS AWAY FROM BEING ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

>> BY 2032, THEY WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE AND ARE DISPLAYED IN OUR DEMOCRACY.

WE WANT THEM TO BE THINKING ABOUT IT AS ACTIVE CITIZEN.>> 12-YEAR-OLD JASON RAMIREZ SAYS THIS DID>> THERE WILL BE AN ELECTION BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN.

IF I WOULD PICK WHO WOULD WIN, I WOULD SAY DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE A LOT OF BAD STUFF HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.

>> IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE, WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR?

>> JOE BIDEN.>> TELL ME WHY.>> DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T REALLY SUPPORT PEOPLE FROM MEXICO.

>> WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT JOE BIDEN?>> HE SUPPORTS PEOPLE.>> STUDENTS ARE LEARNING LESSONS IN A WAY THEY CAN UNDERSTAND, AND FINDING TRUTH ON THE ACADEMIC JOURNEY TO GRADUATION.

THAT IS THE GOAL IN THIS CLASS.

>> THIS IS AN ANALYTICAL PROCESS BUILT ON INFORMATION, AND SUPPORTING THAT INFORMATION THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT.>> THESE STUDENTS WILL GET A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ALONG WITH THEIR GRADE.

>> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES AND BREAK DOWN WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS WE HAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.

THAT RAIN STICKS AROUND THROUGH THURSDAY, SO WE ARE NOT QUITE DONE.

WE ARE EVEN TALKING ABOUT SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW LATER WEDNESDAY AND EVEN INTO EARLY THURSDAY.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SNOW AND RAIN, YOU ARE IN LUCK.

DRY AND WARMER WEATHER IS IN STORE BY FRIDAY, AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

WE DO STILL HAVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT.

THAT'S GOING TO LAST THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.

WE COULD SEE GUSTS AND LIGHT ACCUMULATION, YOU MAY RUN INTO SOME SLICK SPOTS.

TONIGHT WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW IN THE 50s ALONG THE COAST, AND YES, IT WILL BE QUITE STORMY.

IT WILL BE QUITE WET INLAND, AND YES, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT MOUNTAIN SNOW.

SHOWER STICK AROUND, GRADUALLY STARTING TO CLEAR OUT, BUT OVERALL AGAIN WE ARE STILL TRACKING SOME WET WEATHER, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON IN THE DAY.

LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE MORE RAIN ON THE WAY, ESPECIALLY LATE WEDNESDAY AND EARLY THURSDAY.

BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THINGS DO START TO CLEAR OUT.

I WON'T RULE OUT SOME SHOWERS PUSHING ON THROUGH, BUT OVERALL IT IS MUCH DRIER THAN LATE WEDNESDAY AND EARLY THURSDAY.

THOSE CHANCES DON'T QUITE DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY UNTIL FRIDAY, WHERE YOU WILL SEE SOME SUNSHINE AGAIN.

OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, IT IS GOING TO BE ACTIVE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY, ROUGH BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND LIKE I SAID, IT IS GOING TO BE WARMER, THAT SUNSHINE WILL STICK AROUND THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

AS FOR AREAS EARLIER INLAND, SHOWERS ON THURSDAY, CLOUDS START TO BREAK AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER 60s FOR THE WEEKEND, STAYING THAT WAY UNTIL MONDAY.

AS FOR THE MOUNTAINS, AGAIN, RAIN AND SNOW THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY, BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WE WILL SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE, THE HIGH COMES BACK UP TO THE 40s, THOSE CLOUDS START TO ROLL BACK THROUGH ON SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY.

AS FOR THE DESERTS, WE ARE BACK INTO THE 70s OVER THE WEEKEND, STAYING THAT WAY EVEN MONDAY.

>> SDSU HAD A SPECIAL CEREMONY TODAY.

MY GRANDKIDS COME AND VISIT, THEY WANT TO GO WHERE THE PLAY STRUCTURES ARE.>> YOU LOOK AROUND AND THERE ARE SO MANY ACTIVITIES, THE PARK IS RIGHT THERE, THERE IS JUST PLENTY TO DO.>> THE MISSION HILLS RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE PARK FOR THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.>> HAVING A TODDLER, WE LIKE THAT IT IS CLEAN AND SAFE, THERE IS A BATHROOM NEARBY, IT IS CLOSE TO EVERYTHING, YEAH, I'M GLAD THERE IS ONE LIKE THIS AROUND HERE.
