This week, incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin, squared for the first and likely only time in a televised gubernatorial debate hosted by Spectrum News NY1.

Moderators Errol Louis and Susan Arbetter of Spectrum News' "Capital Tonight" weighed in on the highlights of the showdown, including the candidates' extremely different policy views in a race that is tighter than many people anticipated.

Hochul and Zeldin sparred over issues such as abortion, crime, and pay-to-play allegations. Errol and Susan break it all down and offer their insights.

In case you missed it, you can listen to the entire debate immediately after their discussion.
