Lt. Gov. Delgado Ends Campaign for New York Governor Amidst Setbacks
New York Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado has announced the suspension of his campaign for governor, effectively ending his challenge to incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul. Delgado, who positioned himself as a progressive alternative to Hochul, faced a series of setbacks that led to his decision. Despite his efforts, Delgado was unable to secure enough support for an automatic spot on the Democratic primary ballot at the state party's convention, which would have required him to gather petitions. Additionally, the liberal Working Families Party chose not to endorse him. Delgado's campaign was marked by a notable internal party challenge, as he served as Hochul's lieutenant governor while simultaneously running against her. Despite the end of his campaign, Delgado has expressed his intention to continue serving as lieutenant governor and supporting Democratic efforts in New York.
