You can now be a part of Spectrum News 1's conversation on the latest current events in New York state politics.

Join Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter on Twitter Spaces for the inaugural live digital political talk show at noon on Thursday, Oct. 21.

The lunchtime chat will feature members of the Capital Tonight political team, as well as some special guests.

Together, they will analyze next year's race for New York governor, which has garnered early interest on both sides of the political aisle, since the Republicans set out to rally around a presumptive nominee long before the election and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation over the summer that may lead to a primary contest between Gov. Kathy Hochul and others.
