Cuomo, Molinaro agree to 1-on-1 debate in governor’s race
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican challenger Marc Molinaro will debate Tuesday in their only scheduled exchange before next month’s election.
Cuomo, a Democrat seeking a third term, balked at debating Molinaro for weeks before both sides agreed to the debate. The one-on-one event will be taped Tuesday afternoon and broadcast at 7 p.m. on WCBS-TV in New York City. Viewers outside New York City should check their local CBS affiliate for viewing times, though many upstate stations have announced 7 p.m. broadcasts.
Polls suggest Cuomo is far ahead in the race.
