"I've decided to end my campaign for governor of New York, Delgado said. After much consideration, I've concluded that there simply is no viable path forward. And though my campaign has come to an end, I fully intend to do all I can in our effort to build a more humane, affordable and equitable state that serves all New Yorkers."
"I offered it to one person, one person, except that a lot of people approached us, and the question to them was, you want to put your name through the background check for the vetting that we're going to be doing? Hochul. Some people wanted to. Some people did. That's all I'm going to say. So I offered it to one person. One person accepted."
Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado ended his campaign for governor, concluding there was no viable path forward in the Democratic primary. Delgado had tapped India Walton as his running mate one week earlier. Gov. Kathy Hochul moved to solidify her ticket by selecting former NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate. The state Democratic Party nominated Hochul for another term at its Syracuse convention. Delgado would have needed to secure enough statewide petitions to appear on the primary ballot. Hochul said she offered the lieutenant governor spot to one person who accepted. Recent Siena College polling showed Delgado facing steep odds.
