- Antonio Delgado, who serves as the Lieutenant Governor of New York, has officially withdrawn from the gubernatorial race.
- His decision to exit the race is attributed to the absence of a “viable path forward” in his attempt to challenge the incumbent Governor, Kathy Hochul, in the Democratic primary.
- This development potentially clears a significant obstacle for Governor Hochul, enhancing her prospects for re-election.
- Delgado’s withdrawal may consolidate support around Hochul, reducing divisions within the Democratic Party ahead of the primary election.
- Hochul, having served as governor following Andrew Cuomo’s resignation, is now positioned as a stronger contender for another term.
