Why Gov. John Carney Is Stepping Down and Running for Mayor of Wilmington
Briefly

Gov. John Carney is making history by stepping down as Delaware's governor to immediately assume the role of mayor in Wilmington, a unique transition.
Mr. Carney emphasized that while some voters see this as a demotion, he views the mayoral position as potentially a harder job, indicating it's a step up.
With term limits preventing him from running for governor again, Carney reflected on his extensive political career, having served as lieutenant governor and in the U.S. House.
Carney's unprecedented move is marked by an early resignation from the governor's office, positioning him to be sworn in as mayor with no Republican opposition.
