ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday that he will participate in two debates ahead of the November election — one in New York City with his GOP opponent and another in Buffalo that would include two third-party candidates, too.

Cuomo’s campaign said the two debates would be held in mid-October. The New York City debate with Republican Rob Astorino would be sponsored by WNYC New York Public Radio and The Wall Street Journal. The Buffalo debate would include Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins and Libertarian Michael McDermott and would be sponsored by The Buffalo News and WNED-WBFO.
