Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Lee Zeldin will square off Tuesday for their only debate of the campaign, just two weeks before Election Day and as the race has tightened. The one-hour debate, hosted by Spectrum News NY1, is set for 7 p.m. The event will mark perhaps the final milepost in the race before early voting begins Saturday statewide. It also gives candidates the opportunity to make closing arguments to try to sway undecided voters. But with polls showing a scarcity of such voters, the debate just as well provides Hochul and Zeldin, a Republican congressman from Shirley, with an opportunity fire up supporters and encourage them to go vote.
