U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-N.Y.) will step down after 2022 to run for New York lieutenant governor under Gov. Kathy Hochul, marking the 33rd Democrat to retire in a season expected to see major Republican gains.

Delgado will join Hochul, who replaced disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in August 2021, on the campaign trail in the coming New York gubernatorial race as her running mate.
