Earlier this year, New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado removed himself from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s 2026 ticket and filed with the state Board of Elections himself, saying about his future in politics that, “All options are on the table, and I will be exploring them,” a statement some have taken to mean he’s eyeing the governor’s office himself.
Now, Delgado is urging the Democratic Party to adopt a new vision for the future of New York and the United States, focusing on material concerns like economic security while criticizing his own party as prioritizing the demands of corporations — and the profit motive — at the expense of working people.
