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.
