The New York gubernatorial race is heating up with less than two months to go and incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul has finally agreed to one debate, but her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin, is demanding more, with or without her.
On Thursday, Hochul announced she plans to participate in a single debate on October 25, two weeks before election day, and only days before early voting on October 29,“Gov. Hochul looks forward to highlighting the clear contrast between her strong record of delivering results and Lee Zeldin’s extreme agenda,” her campaign spokesman, Jerrel Harvey, said in a press release.
While Hochul claims this is her third debate this year, due to her participating in two during the Democrat primary, this will be the first and what appears will be the only one with Zeldin. The Republican, who has repeatedly called for the Empire State’s Democrat incumbent governor to debate him, has taken to social media to hit Hochul and demand more debates.This is absolutely unacceptable just how much contempt Kathy Hochul has towards New Yorkers that she is trying to pathetically get away with just one General Election debate over a month after absentee ballots start going out. We should have a live, televised debate right now.
