NY Gov. Picks Running Mate for General Election




New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Wednesday, announced a New Re-Election Running Mate, as Her current Lieutenant Governor, Antonio Delgado (D) has Launched an Increasingly Caustic Primary Challenge to Unseat Her.

Hochul, a Moderate, named Adrienne Adams (D), the former Speaker of the New York City Council, as Her Replacement Lieutenant Governor Pick, for the Upcoming Election.

The Selection of Adams could help Hochul, who is from Buffalo, bolster Hher Downstate Credibility and Potentially garner Support among Working Class Black Voters in the City, at a time when Delgado is angling to Win over Progressives.

“Adrienne and I are no strangers to rolling up our sleeves and getting results for working New Yorkers. Together, we’re going to continue investing in public safety, bringing costs down, and making this state a place where all families can thrive,” Hochul said in a statement.

Adams, who is from Southeast Queens and represented parts of the borough, before becoming the Council’s First Black Speaker, ran an Unsuccessful Campaign for Mayor last year, Failing to pick-up Momentum in a Crowded Field that included the City’s eventual Mayor, Zohran Mamdani (D).
