After days wrangling over the terms, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican challenger Marc Molinaro squared off in their first — and likely only — debate on Tuesday, sparring over taxes, the corruption convictions of some of Cuomo's top aides, and if Molinaro is an ally of President Donald Trump.

Cuomo: Are you saying you don't support Donald Trump?

Molinaro: I am saying that I am absolutely committed to the delivery of mental health services.

Cuomo: Do you support Donald Trump?

You accepted $60,000 from Donald Trump and haven't returned it," Molinaro said. "You, when you were trying to make friends with the president when he first came to office, told him you wouldn't run against him. And, you sir, had him at your bachelor party; I didn't."

One of the criticisms of the last debate, between Cuomo and his Democratic primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon, was that there were no questions about upstate New York.
