IT IS ELECTION DAY, AND WE’RE CATCHING UP WITH BOTH CANDIDATES FOR THIS YEAR’S PITTSBURGH MAYORAL RACE. COMING UP, WE’LL HAVE THEIR MESSAGE TO VOTERS. THIS IS A FAMILY SHOW, SO I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS. ISING AT A PITTSBURGH POLLING PLACE, THE OPENING DELAYED THE VOTING MACHINES LOCKED DOWN STAIRS. HOW THIS SITUATION WAS FINALLY RESOLVED, A RECORD NOT WORTH CELEBRATING. THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN NOW TIES FOR THE LONGEST IN AMERICAN HISTORY. I’M RACHEL HERXHEIMER. ON CAPITOL HILL, WITH THE SLIGHT HOPE THAT IT COULD END BY THE END OF THE WEEK, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT NOON STARTS NOW. THE NEWS AT NOON STARTS WITH THAT. BREAKING NEWS. FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY HAS DIED. POLITICAL LEADERS TODAY ARE REFLECTING ON HIS LIFE AND HIS LEGACY. HE’S WIDELY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL, POWERFUL AND CONTROVERSIAL VICE PRESIDENTS IN U.S. HISTORY. ABC’S CHRISTIANE CORDERO HAS THE DETAILS FROM WASHINGTON. DICK CHENEY WAS CALLED THE FORCE BEHIND PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH, A NOTORIOUSLY SILENT BUT POWERFUL VP WHO BECAME AN OUTSPOKEN DEFENDER OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND AN ARDENT CRITIC OF PRESIDENT OBAMA. WHEN THEY’VE MADE ALL THE DECISIONS, THEY’VE HAD CLOSED GUANTANAMO AND THE HIGH VALUE DETAINEE PROGRAM AND SO FORTH, I THINK THOSE WERE ALL MISTAKES. HE WAS BELOVED BY CONSERVATIVES AND VILIFIED BY THE LEFT COMPARED TO A STAR WARS VILLAIN. THEY WOULDN’T CALL ME DARTH VADER FOR NOTHING. HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS INCREASINGLY CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ON NEARLY EVERYTHING BUT GAY RIGHTS, PERHAPS BECAUSE HE HAD A GAY DAUGHTER. RICHARD BRUCE CHENEY WAS BORN IN 1941, IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. HE GREW UP IN CASPER, WYOMING, AND MARRIED LYNN ANNE VINCENT IN 1964. CHENEY FIRST ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON IN 1969 TO WORK FOR PRESIDENT NIXON’S CHIEF OF STAFF, DONALD RUMSFELD, BEFORE REPLACING HIS MENTOR IN 1975. WHEN JIMMY CARTER DEFEATED PRESIDENT FORD. CHENEY RETURNED TO WYOMING, RAN FOR CONGRESS, AND SERVED FIVE TERMS UNTIL PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH ASKED HIM TO SERVE AS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. AFTER A STINT AS HEAD OF DEFENSE CONTRACTOR HALLIBURTON, CHENEY RETURNED TO RUN GEORGE W BUSH’S VICE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION COMMITTEE AND WAS SELECTED HIMSELF. THE PERSON WHO WAS BEST QUALIFIED TO BE MY VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE WAS WORKING BY MY SIDE. AFTER NINE OVER 11, CHENEY WAS INFLUENTIAL IN FORMULATING THE U.S. RESPONSE. THE DOCTRINE OF PREEMPTIVE ACTION WIDENED THE WAR ON TERRORISM FROM AFGHANISTAN TO IRAQ. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP KEEP THE PEACE OF THE WORLD AND TO PREVENT THE TERRORISTS AND THEIR SPONSORS FROM PLUNGING THE WORLD INTO HORRIFIC VIOLENCE. HE FACED CHALLENGES IN AND OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, SHOOTING A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR IN THE FACE DURING A 2006 QUAIL HUNT, AND A YEAR LATER WATCHING HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF, LEWIS SCOOTER LIBBY, CONVICTED OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND PERJURY. PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH LATER COMMUTED LIBBY’S SENTENCE. CHENEY’S DAUGHTER, LIZ, WAS ONE OF THE TEN REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED TO IMPEACH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HIS ROLE IN THE JANUARY 6TH INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL. DICK CHENEY CAME TO THE CAPITOL ON THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THAT HORRIFIC DAY, THOUGH A POLITICAL LIGHTNING ROD, CHENEY WILL BE REMEMBERED BY HIS ALLIES AS A MAN WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH CONVICTION. KAREN TRAVERS, ABC NEWS, WASHINGTON. NEW AT NOON. WE’RE GETTING SOME NEW DETAILS ABOUT AN INCIDENT AT A GREENE COUNTY MINE THAT SENT SIX PEOPLE TO THE HOSPITAL.

IF ANY OF THESE JUSTICES ARE NOT RETAINED, A PARTIZAN ELECTION WILL BE HELD IN 2027 TO REPLACE THEM. HAPPY VOTING DAY FOR THE JUDGE AT A LOCAL POLLING PLACE TRYING TO MASK HER FRUSTRATION AFTER THE LOCATION AT THE CHADWICK CENTER IN LINCOLN-LEMINGTON-BELMAR HAD A DELAYED OPENING. THIS WAS THE CASE BECAUSE THE VOTING MACHINES WERE LOCKED DOWNSTAIRS. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER AVA RASH IS COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY WITH. MORE FROM OUR NEWSROOM. IMAGINE YOU SHOW UP READY TO OPEN THE POLLS AT 7 A.M., AND THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO HOLD THE ELECTION IS LOCKED IN A ROOM DOWNSTAIRS. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CHADWICK CENTER THIS MORNING. A JUDGE OF ELECTIONS TELLING PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR WHAT SHE ENCOUNTERED WHEN SHE SHOWED UP. WE HAVE THREE VOTING PRECINCTS. WE HAVE NO MACHINES, NO TABLES, NO CHAIRS. DEBORAH MCCOY SAYS SHE REACHED OUT TO THE ELECTIONS BUREAU TRYING TO GET HELP. SHE SAYS THEY WERE ADVISED TO UNLOCK THE ROOM AND BRING THE MACHINES UP THEMSELVES, BUT THAT PRESENTED ANOTHER SET OF CHALLENGES. SHE TRIED TO TELL ME. SHE COULD TELL ME WHERE THE KEY IS. I TOLD HER IT DIDN’T MATTER WHERE THE KEY WAS. WE ARE ALL SENIOR CITIZENS AND WE’RE NOT MOVING ANY MACHINES UP HERE. WE CAME TO VOTE AND TO LET THE PEOPLE VOTE, MCCOY SAYS. EVENTUALLY, SOME PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTY SHOWED UP TO HELP GET THE MACHINES IN PLACE, AND A COUNTY SPOKESPERSON CONFIRMED STAFF WAS ABLE TO GET ON LOCATION BY 730 THIS MORNING. ACCESS THE LOCKED EQUIPMENT AND SET UP THE POLLING PLACE. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY. I’M AVA RASH PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. MEANTIME, SOUTH OF THE CITY, SOME VOTERS FACING ISSUES IN FAYETTE COUNTY. THE ELECTION BUREAU TELLS US THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF STATE ACCIDENTALLY SENT THE 2024 VOTER INFORMATION IN THEIR ELECTRONIC FILE, NOT THE INFO FOR THIS YEAR. THE GOOD NEWS THE CORRECT FILE WAS SENT FOR ITS BACKUP PAPER POLL BOOKS. SO THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE USING NOW. POLLS IN PENNSYLVANIA CLOSE AT 8:00 TONIGHT. THAT’S ALSO THE DEADLINE FOR WHEN YOUR COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE MUST RECEIVE YOUR MAIL-IN OR ABSENTEE BALLOT. THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, NOW TIED FOR THE LONGEST IN AMERICAN HISTORY AT 35 DAYS. MINIMAL TALKS BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE UNDERWAY TO TRY TO REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. AND THIS COMES AS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE MISSING FEDERAL FOOD ASSISTANCE AND FACING SKYROCKETING HEALTH CARE INSURANCE COSTS. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT RACHEL HERXHEIMER IS ON CAPITOL HILL WITH THE POSSIBLE HOPE TO END THIS SHUTDOWN. THE PRESSURE IS RAMPING UP TO END THE SECOND LONGEST SHUTDOWN IN U.S. HISTORY. ON MONDAY, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAID IT WILL PARTIALLY FUND SNAP BENEFITS FOR THIS MONTH AFTER TWO JUDGES ISSUED RULINGS REQUIRING THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP THE PROGRAM RUNNING. THIS COMES AFTER THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK IT COULD NO LONGER FIND THE FUNDS TO COVER FEDERAL FOOD ASSISTANCE DURING THE SHUTDOWN IN 2020 FOUR, MORE THAN 40 MILLION PEOPLE RELIED ON SNAP BENEFITS. THE PRESIDENT IS DESPERATE FOR SNAP BENEFITS TO FLOW TO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS, WHO DESPERATELY RELY UPON IT. SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE VOTED 13 TIMES AGAINST THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN, INSISTING THEY NEED THE PRESIDENT AND REPUBLICANS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM FIRST. ENTERING INTO A SPENDING AGREEMENT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES LIFE BETTER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT WORSE. AND THAT DECISIVELY ADDRESSES THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE CRISIS. MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID DEMOCRATS HAVE, QUOTE, LOST THEIR WAY AND PREDICTED THEY’LL EVENTUALLY GIVE INTO REPUBLICANS. AND NOW THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AGREED TO PARTIALLY FUND SNAP BENEFITS, IT’S NOT EXACTLY CLEAR WHEN PEOPLE’S EBT CARDS WILL ACTUALLY BE RELOADED. AND IN A COURT FILING, THE USDA ALSO SAID THAT FOR SOME STATES, IT COULD TAKE WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS FOR THEM TO MAKE ALL THE SYSTEM CHANGES TO SEND OUT THOSE REDUCED BENEFITS. ON CAPITOL HILL, I’M RACHEL HERXHEIMER. AND IN JUST THE PAST HOUR, PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTED TO TRUTH SOCIAL SAYING SNAP BENEFITS WILL ONLY BE GIVEN WHEN THE GOVERNMENT REOPENS AND NOT BEFORE. WE WILL BE MONITORING FOR RESPONSE TO THE PRESIDENT’S POST. A LOCAL MAN IS USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HIS EFFORTS TO HELP HIS NEIGHBORS IN NEED. AJ OWEN AND HIS SONS STARTED A FOOD PANTRY OUTSIDE OF THEIR WHITEHALL HOME ABOUT A WEEK AGO. ON SATURDAY, HE WENT TO CHECK ON THE SUPPLIES AND FOUND A BIG SURPRISE. I JUST LOOKED AT MY MAILBOX. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OWEN SHARED THE DONATION STORY ON TIKTOK, AND THAT VIDEO HAS OVER 12 MILLION VIEWS. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN AN ANONYMOUS DONATION LABELED FOOD PANTRY. HE’S USED ABOUT $700 SO FAR ON ADDING SUPPLIES. THE PERSON WHO DROPPED OFF THE ENVELOPE, LITERALLY FULL OF CASH. I’M SURE I’LL NEVER KNOW WHO THEY ARE. AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE, I THINK THAT’S A THAT’S A REAL LIFE ANGEL. THE PANTRY IS OPEN 24 OVER SEVEN IN THE AREA BEHIND THE CASTI VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER IN WHITEHALL. CONTINUING COVERAGE OF THE SHUTDOWN AND ITS IMPACTS IS ON WTAE.COM. AND OUR MOBILE APP. IMPORTANT ELECTIONS ARE HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY. HOW T
