spend a little time over the atlantic waters which are warm, by the way, and work its way back onshore. plenty of rain over the next couple days for this region. on top of that, we'll look for the storm surge potential. this goes from north carolina all the way south into portions of georgia. storm surge not our biggest concern, but on top of all that heavy rain, problematic at the coast. this is something we'll watch for the next couple days, frances, before it starts to move north into portions of the northeast by the time the weekend rolls around. >> we'll check in with you in a bit, thanks, angie. breaking overnight, it is official, kamala harris is the democratic nominee for president. the democratic national committee releasing the results of their virtual roll call vote just after midnight. harris has secured the delegates she needs for the nomination. she now makes history as the first woman of color at the top of a major party's ticket. susan mcguinness joins us from d.c. who will be joining harris on that ticket. >> reporter: the decision on a

run running mate is imminent. harris is holding a big event in philadelphia, a rally. we expect to know her decision by then. two sources familiar with the planningsay the rollout today is going to look very similar to other big announcements we've seen in the past, likely including a video, social media campaign and text messages to supporters. and they say the exact timing is still subject to change, as harris makes her final decision. the campaign told supporters in a text message last night harris still has not made her choice. she met with three contenders over the weekend. pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. he won by a large margin in that state, a swing state that could really help with independent voters. she talked with minnesota governor tim walz, a two-term governor, and arizona senator mark kelly, a former naval captain and astronaut, wide appeal in yet another important

swing state. we're expecting this announcement to come any time now. harris and her new running mate kick off the campaign in philadelphia and hit the road for a smattering of appearances. the supreme court has denied a long shot from missouri's attorney general. the a.g. tried to sue the state of new york to block the gag order and sentencing in donald trump's criminal case. while the speupreme court does handle disputes between states it would be highly unusually to allow a state to interfere in another state's judicial proceedings. american personnel were believed to be injured after an attack on an air base in iraq. this attack comes amid growing tensions and fears that the israe

israel-hamas war will grow into a bigger conflict. >> reporter: that's right, and those tensions are only further amped up by the most recent air attack targeting al asad airbase in iraq. at least two rockets are briefed believed to have been sent toward the base. there's a damage assessment taking place at this hour as president biden has been briefed on the situation, which u.s. defense officials say they believe was launched by a pro-iran militia 3. that amidst a wider concern that a broader conflict could erupt. the assassination of two people last week. israel is bracing for multi-day

attacks, simultaneously from iran, with rockets and missiles, as well as from hezbollah in lebanon into israel. so that could be a very significant development that could trigger a wider regional war. and that is exactly why secretary of state antony blinken, president biden and defense secretary lloyd austin have all been phoning their counterparts around the county acountry and region, trying to prevent this from spiraling out of control and the u.s. moving more military assets into the region, as secretary blinken says, it is the responsibility of all parties vo parties involved in the situation to make sure it does not further escalate. >> josh, thank you. new this morning, the prime minister of bangladesh has fled to india after she resigned, ini ending her 15-year rule.

protesters demanded she step down after job quotas implemented in june. an interim government will be put in place. now to an update on a story we told but earlier their year. prosecutors plan to charge a former kansas city police chief over how he handled a raid involving a newspaper. they say gidian cody is involved. all eyes were on the arena as the g.o.a.t. of gymnastics delivered the closing act. >> she's going to be starting with a triple-double that we saw her have some struggle with in the warmup, right here.

lassman for a quick check on the weather across the rest of the country this morning. good morning, again. >> quiet conditions out west. rain across the midwest and tropical storm debby that we're going to watch over the next couple days. let's talk about that rain we see across the midwest. that's something that we deal with through the day today. it will continue working its way a little farther to the east. we do have a system moving across the country in that region. that means that the rain in chicago, detroit, you'll wake up to that and maybe some wet roads on your drive this morning. eventually working its way to the east. we could see potential flooding across parts of the northeast today through the day today. also tropical storm debby bringing plenty of rain to the southeast. this is something that you'll have to deal with not just today but the next couple days. the flooding concern is there as we ramp up for double-digit rainfall amounts by the time we get to the middle and enofd

be behavior. it is seen as a landmark ruling, a big win for consumers. at issue here in particular the court finding that there was a monopoly for google in search services and tech advertising. in particular, the issue that the courts have with the exclusive deals that puts google as the default engine for android and apple. ultimately, it could change the way that google engages in business practices but potential consequences, too, for mammoth exclusive deals. it was a market rout that we saw. we saw markets watching very closely at the opening calls. turn-around tuesday is what we're expecting after the dow plunged a thousand points in trade yesterday. t biggest drop since mid 2022. the tech-heavy nasdaq down after the record high.
