In NY LG's quitting because they can't work with the governor is a time honored tradition. They rarely then run against them and I don't think any have gotten close. Cuomo had a LG who quit, Pataki had an LG who hated him, Hugh Carey had an LG who couldn't work with him, as I recall.
It certainly wasn't his intention and I don't think his career is certainly over, but I just don't see him successfully challenging Hochul. NY LG is a thankless job and he wouldn't be the first, or second in recent memory to jump from it without any particular great plan.
It would be weird if Delgado didn't run. Otherwise, what's the point of not running for reelection as LG?

I don't think Delgado gave up a promising career in the House just to be a one term LG.
