CBSN
Andrew Giuliani, the son of former President Trump's personal attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, announced on Tuesday that he is running for governor of New York. It could set up a battle with incumbent Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has been in office since 2010.
"Like my parents before me, New York is in my blood," Giuliani said in a video announcing his campaign. "I've been raised through New York. I know who we are, what we can be and where we need to go." In an interview with the New York Post published Tuesday morning, Giuliani said that his agenda will focus on supporting the business community, law enforcement and school-choice. He sharply criticized Cuomo's handling of COVID-19, including the governor's nursing home policy from the early days of the pandemic. He compared a potential matchup with Cuomo to the famous 1971 heavyweight title prize fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.Two climbers were waiting to be rescued near the peak of Denali, a colossal mountain that towers over miles of vast tundra in southern Alaska, officials said Wednesday. Originally part of a three-person team that became stranded near the top of the mountain, the climbers put out a distress call more than 30 hours earlier suggesting they were hypothermic and unable to descend on their own, according to the National Park Service.
There's no making up for what Olympic hurdler Lashinda Demus lost on the day she finished .07 seconds behind a Russian opponent who, everyone later learned, was doping. What the American 400-meter hurdles champion will finally receive is a great day under the Eiffel Tower where she'll be presented with the gold medal she was denied 12 years ago at the London Olympics.
