Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado of New York on Wednesday joined a growing list of Democratic elected officials calling for President Biden to end his 2024 re-election campaign in the wake of the president’s extremely rough performance two weeks ago in his debate with former President Trump.
Delgado, in a social media post, highlighted that he has « immense respect and admiration for [Biden’s] deep and abiding commitment to the American people and our founding democratic ideals. »
« He can add to his legacy, showing his strength and grace, by ending his campaign and making room for a new leader », Delgado urged.
Delgado warned, « There is no greater threat to our democracy than former President Donald Trump. He must be defeated. »
« That is why I join with millions of Americans — including everyday New Yorkers from all walks of life — who are expressing legitimate concerns about President Biden’s ability to wage a successful campaign against Trump », the lieutenant governor wrote. « Sustaining our collective belief in democracy and trust in our democratic institutions requires those of us in elected office to be straight with the American people.
