This is WBZY, Boston's news radio. We defining local news
fifty five windy degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Remembering a political giant.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died. Politically, he wasn't
(00:22):
everybody's cup of tea, but he didn't make a career
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
This looks like Bush Cheney country did.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Cheney hit the campaign trail many times in a long
political career, but by most accounts, he was never comfortable
with a handshaking the media spotlight. In the two thousand
and four race against the telegenic John Edwards, Cheney turned
a self deprecating humor.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
People tell me, Senator Edwards got picked for his good looks,
his charm, his sex appeal, his great hair. I said,
how do you think I got the job?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It was a style that served Cheney well in six
congressional and two vice presidential campaigns. Cammy McCormick CBS.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Cheney died on Monday, complications of pneumonia and cardiac and
vascular disease. Dick Cheney was saighty four. There were a
number of contested races for mayor being decided today, or
there are not were it's not over yet. Some of
them are said to be fairly close. Not the case

Boston Mayor Michelle Wou arrived to Phineas Bates Elementary School

Speaker 6 (01:35):
On election day.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
She's unopposed in her bid for a second term after
Josh Kraft dropped out of the race. Still, she implores
every registered voter in the city and across the Commonwealth
to do their part.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Every single election matters, every election, and especially at a
time when so much is happening that impacts our daily
lives that can feel outside our local control, because the
federal government is playing politics with hunger and threatening to
have children and seniors go hungry.
Speaker 1 (02:08):

major election day since President Trump returned to the White House,
and though it's an off year, still the President didn't
hit the campaign trail to help his party's candidates or
their causes. However, the candidates have been using his name.
No contests bigger than the governor's races in New Jersey
and Virginia the only two this year, and GOP candidates
(02:30):
in both those states closely aligned themselves with the president.
Public tours are coming back to the White House. CBS's
Stacy Lynne with details.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
The tours were initially suspended in August when construction for
the President's new ballroom began.
Speaker 7 (02:43):

for public tours on Tuesday, December.
