<v Speaker 1>quality of the air is at very unhealthy levels and

6
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>because of that. North of Boston, students at Salem High

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>School were dismissed early today. Students at the Horace Man

14
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.840

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 3>least and possibly throughout the week.

19
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 3>That always makes us challenging when you have multiple events

20
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.280

<v Speaker 1>for residents across Metro Boston. Vice President Kabla Harris will

33
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 1>deliver it tonight what her campaign calls her closing argument

34
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 1>speech a week before election day in Washington, with the

35
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>White House as her backdrop, Harris's expected to urge voters

36
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to turn the page on former President Trump.

37
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 4>The Harris campaign chose the Ellipse on the National Mall

38
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 4>for the Vice President's closing argument for very specific reasons.

39
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 4>It's the site where former President Donald Trump rallied his

40
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 4>supporters before they storm the Capitol on January sixth. The

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 4>campaign says the location is a symbol of that dark

42
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 4>time and they want to draw contrast to what Harris

43
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 4>would bring to the presidency, But officials say this will

44
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 4>be an optimistic speech and with the White House as

45
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 4>her backdrop, Harris will tell the nation the good a

46
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 4>president can do to bring the country together and get

47
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 4>things done for the American people. Karen Travers ABC News

49
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Former President Trump stood before the microphone today in Florida.

50
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>The former president says he's been campaigning NonStop for nearly

51
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 1>two months and says Vice President Harris has destroyed the nation.

52
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 5>Kamala intends to conflict and keep this misery going, and

53
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 5>she's going to keep it going as long as she

54
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 5>can because that's the only way she can get elected.

55
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 5>She's going out and only criticizing talking about Hitler, and

56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 5>not because her record's horrible.

57
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump touched on his top campaign issues, including immigration and crime.

58
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>The former president now off to Pennsylvania checking the four

59
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>day Actually wear the forecast a pretty decent stretch of

60
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>weather here. We're going to get a little bit of rain, tonight,

61
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>probably not much to put a big dent in our

62
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>drought issues, but little rain will push across the area,

63
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>especially after midnight, and temperature is not far from fifty.

64
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>The clouds will give way to sunshine Tomorrow will dry

65
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>it out, breezy temperatures near seventy, and then Tomorrow night

66
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>partly cloudy, low of fifty eight. Thursday, we may make

67
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 1>a run toward eighty degrees, probably upper seventies most places.

68
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>The record in Boston is eighty one, set in nineteen

69
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>forty six. Doubtful will get there, but we have to

70
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>play the game first to see what the score is.

71
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>So it'll be a quite warm evening for trick or

72
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>treating on Thursday as well. The temperatures will slide back

73
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>a little bit on Friday, not much low seventies for

74
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 1>the high, and then a shower early gives way to

75
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>sunshine weekend, where it's gonna require us to maybe break

76
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>out the sweatshirts again, Temperatures only in the fifties. Right now,

77
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it is fifty five degrees in Boston. A lot is

78
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>said about the Witch City during Halloween season, but as

79
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>we hear from Wbc'shile Shaffle, the long shadow cast by

80
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Salem's got room for plenty of neighbors too.

81
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 6>Next to the black and orange black hole that is

82
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 6>Salem this time of year, it would be easy to

83
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 6>assume that neighboring communities like Peabody get lost in the shuffle.

84
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 6>Dan Healy says, not so fast. She's the president of

85
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 6>the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce.

86
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 7>They planned for it, they expect it, and they book

87
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 7>up because of the Halloween, so of course it's it's

88
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 7>a good thing for them, She says.

89
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 6>Hotels and Peabody get a yearly big boost from the

90
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 6>Salem overflow. Retail stores and restaurants also see more business

91
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 6>from curious tourists and overwhelmed locals alike.

92
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 7>It's a good opportunity to get out of town and

93
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 7>try another restaurant in a neighboring city that probably doesn't

94
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 7>have the weight.

95
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 6>The one drawback are places that don't really interact with

96
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 6>the crowd, like banks. For them, this time of year

97
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 6>just means more traffic. But Heally says some of those

98
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 6>cars are actually missing this year.

99
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 7>This year, we have not been seeing the traffic patents.

100
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.600
<v Speaker 6>For that, She gives credit to Salem's aggressive public transit

107
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.680
