Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Lee Zeldin squared off in the first and only debate of the governor's race in New York.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Lee Zeldin squared off Tuesday night in their first and only debate of the governor's race, clashing over crime, abortion rights, economic development and more with just days to go before New Yorkers begin casting ballots in early voting on Saturday.
Hochul, a Democrat seeking her first full term on Nov. 8, fended off rapid-fire jabs from Zeldin and promoted her 14-month record as governor, while Zeldin, buoyed by recent polls showing him trailing by only modest margins, seized the televised platform to pummel his opponent, particularly on crime. He is seeking to become the first Republican to win statewide office in 20 years in New York, where Democratic voters outnumber Republicans by 2 to 1.
"I'm here for one reason: to save our state," he declared in his opening statement, arguing Democrats have made New York less safe, less free and too expensive. "You can focus on keeping people scared, or you can focus on keeping people safe," she said.
