   Democratic incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has clawed out of her chicken   
   suit and agreed to debate her Republican opponent Chele Farley Thursday,   
   campaign officials said Sunday amid a Post front page that shamed her for   
   backing out of her sole debate.   
      
   Gillibrand landed in a chicken suit on The Post’s front page for canceling   
   a debate scheduled for Sunday that was sponsored by Spectrum NY1.   
      
   Gillibrand cited a labor dispute and union picketing against Spectrum’s   
   parent company Charter Communications for pulling out of that debate.   
      
   The Gillibrand-Farley debate will air on WABC-TV and be held on Thursday,   
   at 1:30 p.m.   
      
   “I appreciate ABC 7 Eyewitness News putting together this last-minute   
   televised debate after Senator Gillibrand’s 11th-hour stunt to get out of   
   the debate she arranged,” said Farley.   
      
   “It is important for voters to hear from both candidates side-by-side so   
   that they can make an informed decision about who has the commitment to   
   Put New York First and the ability to negotiate a better deal for New York   
   families.”   
      
   Farley also took a swipe at Gillibrand, saying New York’s junior senator   
   caved to political pressure over her decision to pull out of the Spectrum   
   debate.   
      
   “After facing harsh political backlash for pulling out of the Spectrum   
   News debate, Senator Gillibrand has correctly reversed course and agreed   
   to join me in a face-to-face discussion of the issues,” said Farley. “This   
   is the sixth debate proposal that I have accepted. Senator Gillibrand   
   accepted only one, then backed out before being forced into taking a break   
   from the 2020 Presidential campaign trail to return to New York as she   
   runs for re-election.”   
      
   Gillibrand campaign spokesman Glen Caplin said in a statement, “Senator   
   Gillibrand believes deeply that an open public debate is essential to   
   democracy. We are pleased that WABC-TV, the nation’s most watched local TV   
   station, agreed yesterday afternoon to host a U.S. Senate statewide debate   
   this coming Thursday for their weekly flagship political show Up Close   
   with Bill Ritter.”   
      
   “We are also pleased the debate will be provided to all of ABC’s local   
   statewide affiliates in addition to being live-streamed for anyone to see   
   on WABC-TV’s market-leading social media platforms.”   
      
   Caplin, referring to the Spectrum debate blow-off, said, “With this   
   debate, we will be able to both stand in solidarity with the 1,800 members   
   of IBEW who went on strike for fair pay and benefits and provide New   
   Yorkers with the opportunity they deserve to hear from both candidates. We   
   look forward to the debate.”   
      
   Gillibrand leads Farley by 23 points in the most recent Quinnipiac   
   University poll.

   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum   
   wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't   
   be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great   
   it is.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight   
   years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer   
   liberal democrat donors.
