Former President Donald Trump has been making baseless claims about winning states he lost by wide margins in his previous two presidential campaigns, including New Mexico, where he recently stated “I believe we won it twice” despite losing by eight points in 2016 and 11 points in 2020. No Republican presidential candidate has won New Mexico since 2004.
Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump by around nine percentage points in New Mexico. However, Trump continues to push false claims of election fraud and rigging, with concerns rising that he will dispute the results if he loses again.
Despite Trump’s claims, New Mexico has the top-ranked election system in the country according to MIT’s Election Data + Science Lab. Trump’s visit to the state also aims to appeal to Latino voters and address issues such as immigration, with implications for a congressional swing district.
While New Mexico voters have consistently rejected Trump at the polls, he continues to make unfounded claims about election results, raising doubts about his post-election actions. With just days until the election, tensions are high as Trump attempts to drum up support in a state that has historically favored Democrats.
