Gov. Kathy Hochul and Adrienne Adams stand to gain politically by combining a governing partner from New York City with efforts to shore up support in downstate and working-class Black communities, potentially broadening Hochul’s electoral coalition.
Antonio Delgado and his campaign risk diminished influence and visibility after being removed from the ticket and mounting a primary challenge, which may split Democratic voters and complicate his fundraising and coalition-building.
