- Hochul holds a $15 million campaign fund, strong union and special interest support, and an advantage in voter name recognition.
- A Siena College poll showed Hochul leading with 46%, Delgado at 12%, and Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres considering a future bid.
- Delgado’s announcement signals a difficult primary challenge due to new election law requiring joint governor-lieutenant governor tickets.
