Antonio Delgado and Ana Maria Archila trading high profile endorsements in the battleground Lieutenant Gubernatorial primary.

Delgado picked up the endorsement of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of New York, becoming the latest labor group to endorse him.

Archila, the favorite of progressives, was endorsed by Mijente, and more importantly, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I think the Lieutenant Governor's primary, at least on the Democratic side, is currently Lean Archila. She's got great energy behind her, is running a campaign clearly independent of her running mate, and the presence of Diana Reyna might just drain enough votes from Delgado to tip the primary to Archila. I would like to see someone, even one of the candidates, conduct a poll of the primary before the primary on the 28th, though.

Archila winning would be wild, and would really drive home the complete and utter pointlessness of taking Delgado out of a competitive House district.

I don't think Delgado would have won reelection anyways.

The new NY-19 is Biden +4.6, which would be difficult in this environment (especially against a candidate like Molinaro) but not impossible for a strong incumbent by any means. Instead it looks like we're basically running some guy and the seat is very likely gone. He should've gone down fighting.
