With just days to go until early voting begins, Spectrum News NY1 hosted a lively debate between incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Lee Zeldin. According to polls, the race has been tightening in recent weeks. How did it get so close? NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez share their takeaways of the debate. The team also examined how campaign strategies, shifting voter priorities and the candidates themselves may have New York on the cusp of electing the first Republican to statewide office in decades.
They also break down the four proposals on the ballot that New Yorkers will decide, including a statewide measure on the environment and three city-based questions on racial equity.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think about the governor’s race.
