Delgado Soto's uncle, José A. Rodríguez Cruz, is the current mayor of his hometown of Hatillo. Upon entering politics in 2012, at 14 years-old, he was named president of the New Progressive Party's (PNP) youth branch. Nevertheless, upon seeing the government's response after Hurricane María, he decided to abandon the party in 2017, but became a statehood advocate. During the 2020 presidential election, he "believe[d] that [Donald] Trump’s attempt[ed] to paint his Democratic opponent as a socialist [which] could [have] prove[n] effective in turning Puerto Rican voters against [Joe] Biden." Notwithstanding he was "hopeful that the election of a Democratic president will bring a resolution of Puerto Rico’s statehood question."
