- On Thursday, Governor Maura Healey and Republican challenger Mike Minogue faced off in their second and final gubernatorial debate at WCVB-TV, presenting distinct visions for Massachusetts ahead of the November 3 election.
- With the general election less than three weeks away, affordability emerged as a central battleground, as Minogue repeatedly cited Healey's remark that "Massachusetts is a great place, if you can afford it" to criticize her economic record.
- Accountability became a focal point as Minogue questioned Healey on the administration's handling of former aide LaMar Cook, who faces federal fraud charges, and an internal State Police investigation into alleged misconduct at a barracks.
- Healey defended an "all-of-the-above approach" to energy including natural gas and renewables, while Minogue criticized her climate policies for raising utility costs and declined to directly answer whether he would repeal expanded abortion protections.
- On immigration, Healey highlighted her signing of the so-called PROTECT Act to ban warrantless civil immigration arrests, positioning herself as a defender against what she termed an "out-of-control" agency threatening public safety.
