Suozzi, Williams, but no Hochul in 1st NY governor debate
Two of the three leading Democrats running for New York governor faced off in their first debate Thursday, with Jumaane Williams and U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi missing no opportunities to attack the absent incumbent, Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Williams, New York City’s elected public advocate, started the critiques of Hochul from his opening remarks, saying to Suozzi, “Although we have some differences, at least we both showed up.”
Suozzi followed suit, saying New Yorkers were unhappy and “we can do better than this.”
