A Trump 2020 victory in New Mexico appeared to be a long shot as recently as a month ago, but Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s recent promise to end the oil industry has put the state where many jobs are dependent on that industry in play.

Lots of chances for Dems to cheat in Dona Ana County, and in the Albuquerque area. Northern NM is usually strong Dem, but some of the old-time Hispanics like their lifestyle and don't think much of windmills and solar panels despoiling the environment and positively hate federal regulations about cattle grazing, lumber cutting and all the rules that come with them.

I was at a solar panel location recently.

They basically salt the land with permanent herbicides and turn it into the surface of the moon.

I’m an oil and gas guy, and I’ve never seen the level of environmental destruction -— ever -— from oil and gas.

What they do with solar panels is truly shocking.

In reality, at best we should take back the Little Texas district in the House. It’s in the area of the state where the oil industry matters. The other two-thirds of the state, taken as a whole, will be at least 60% Democrat throughout the ballot.

They say they’re voting for Trump, and they’re just trying to figure out how far down the ballot to go voting Republicans.”

LOL, I hope this is true for a Dems.

Great to see New Mexico called so early. That’s a great sign.

You also have to consider the NA vote in NM. Trump has done well by the NA community. Just another demographic the ‘Rats take for granted.

TRUMP WILL THE ELECTION or it's these two...

[jerod]

Are there any liberal cause referendums on the ballot? If not, Trump stands a better chance.

[Mr. Rabbit]

I wouldn’t bet on it any more, given the infestation of hippies and Californicators in recent years, but if it happens, I won’t complain. :)

[Nifty]

Ok great but this is really nothing more than cheerleading. Everyone days in advance says their team will win. is there any data to consider yet?

[latina4dubya]

my parents are from New Mexico, and most of my aunts, uncles and cousins live there... i was shocked to see a Trump parade in the little towns up in Nothern New Mexico—Alcade, Velarde, Dixon, Espanola... my cousin posted a video of it...

I have been saying this

[GOP Poet]

Wow!!!!

[TheThirdRuffian]

Lujan and her edicts may be what pushes us to Trump.

What a flaming bitch.

In Ruidoso, only the chain places (e.g., WalMart) listen to her stupid mask edicts.

[CatOwner]

I wish I could find it, but didn’t the GOP make the same claim on Election Day in 2016??

[RinaseaofDs]

If this is true, then it is extraordinary. I figured they would remain blue. If NM goes red, that will be truly amazing. I don’t hold out much hope for CO in that regard. NV will be red. I also think there’s a fair chance NY will also go red.

[Karoo]

This is just hard to believe. In fact I’m wondering if I’m reading it wrong.
