Kathy Hochul and Rep. Tom Suozzi face off in a televised debate on Tuesday night.There was little consensus among the three Democratic gubernatorial candidates during the first 54 minutes of Tuesday’s tense, hourlong New York primary debate.Gov. Kathy Hochul faced a barrage of criticism from Long Island Rep.
Williams faulted Hochul for not focusing enough on everyday gun violence in places like the Bronx, where she held a news conference Monday to sign the package of bills into law. “When the governor was a member of Congress, she voted with, was endorsed by and took money from the NRA,” he said. “Where’s the principle in that?”
