New York Rep. Antonio Delgado tapped as lieutenant governor
The Hill ^ | 5/3/2022 | TAL AXELROD

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Tuesday that Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-N.Y.) would serve as her new lieutenant governor after Brian Benjamin, who previously held the post, resigned in April.

Delgado’s ascension to the lieutenant governorship marks the latest culmination in a scandal that broke out last month when Benjamin was arrested on charges related to campaign finance fraud.

Still, Delgado’s departure from the House to trek to Albany has implications on the congressional landscape.

Delgado had been a top Republican target in a district the GOP believes it can flip. His resignation marks a big boost to Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, who is currently set to be the GOP primary front-runner in the district barring any changes amid a court fight over redistricting. Now, the ultimate Democratic nominee is unlikely to have the name recognition and campaign funds that Delgado boasted.

Delgado the Dem incumbent very likely would lose his seat in the Red wave coming in November - another GOP pickup in what. even the Dems know, could be a historic shellacking.

Don’t discount retarded females ruining the elections due to abortion.
Emotion, and a complete lack of logic and “triage”, could “win” the day.
Facts be damned.

There are plenty in the middle. Don’t underestimate the fickle nature of the “I’m neither party” people. Those who would possibly have stayed home won’t.
Those who might not normally cheat will.
The ends justify the means…

Well, clearly Roberts’ political justices wanted this leak for political reasons focused on the upcoming elections, we’ll see.

I believe Zeldin the GOP nominee is pro-abort (as are most GOP pols who run statewide).

Maybe that’s why so many are leaving the state.
I’ve seen more NY plates in PA than I care to…

I may have to vote for Harry the outsider. especially hearing Zeldin say he thought Andy Cuomo would make a great President or some such BS.

Watching The Empire State implode is on one hand tragic and on the other I’m rather enjoying it.

Well, hang in there, good luck with the move. The wife and I regret not getting out of NJ when we could.

Too late and too old now to make a move.
