Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado won’t run again with Gov. Kathy Hochul

Weather: ⛅ Partly sunny, highs in the mid 50s.

It's Tuesday in New York, where Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado has officially announced that he won’t run alongside Gov. Kathy Hochul in next year’s election.

Delgado's friction with Hochul first spilled into public view last July, when he publicly called for then-President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race — all while Hochul remained a steadfast Biden supporter.

Earlier this month, Delgado — who has flirted with a gubernatorial run of his own — again broke with Hochul by calling on Mayor Eric Adams to resign, telling reporters that he "serves with the governor" but not "at the pleasure of the governor."

Here's where this leaves New York's 2026 gubernatorial race.
