“When Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York chose Antonio Delgado to be her lieutenant governor in 2022, she had nothing but the highest praise for her new No. 2,” the New York Times reports.
“She said Mr. Delgado, then a rising Black political star who represented a competitive House district, was a ‘battle-tested campaigner.
’ She praised his work ethic and said that his ability to “unite communities” would serve her administration’s goals.”“Three years later, their partnership has completely disintegrated. After months of open political warfare with Ms. Hochul, Mr. Delgado said Monday he would challenge her in next year’s Democratic primary.”
