The debate between Republican incumbent Congressman Michael Grimm and Democratic challenger Domenic Recchia turned into something like a childhood playground fight full of more guffaws than punches, the New York Times reported.
Most polls have Grimm slightly ahead in the 11th District congressional race despite him facing a fraud indictment hanging over his head. Meanwhile, Recchia hasn’t been able to take advantage of the situation by dodging two previous debates and committing so many guffaws that the race was even mocked on The Daily Show.
The debate was hosted by Channel 7 ABC TV.
