Hochul agrees to debate primary opponents (NY)
NY1Gov. Kathy Hochul says she is prepared to debate her challengers ahead of the June 28 primary election, as she seeks a full-term.
“I always do debates,” Hochul said Friday. “I’ve probably done 22 primaries and elections and I’ve always debated. I always embrace the opportunity, and it always goes well.”
Congressman Tom Suozzi and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who are challenging Hochul, have asked for a total of six debates. Hochul wouldn’t agree to an exact number, but did say, “More than once,” when asked.
