Exclusive — Nella Domenici: There’s ‘a Lot of Momentum’ for New Mexico to Go Red
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2024 | Hannah Knudsen

Posted on 10/31/2024 11:53:25 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

There is “a lot of momentum” for New Mexico to flip red, Nella Domenici, the state’s Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily, noting that former President Donald Trump’s momentum is helping in her race against incumbent Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) as well.

Domenici noted that her state was “solidly red for a long time” when her father was senator from 1973 to 2009. But since then, it has “kind of become a little California, and it’s been taken over by radical progressives.”

“But we’re a very, very poor state, so California policies don’t work for anyone, and they particularly don’t work in New Mexico. So New Mexico is going to go back red because our leadership has failed the state enormously, and people are very, very angry and very, very disappointed,” she said, pointing to the issue of crime in the state.

Redfield & Wilton 10/16/2024 382 LV ±4.4%

Harris Trump Other
49% 45% 6%

The margin of error would make it a statstical tie.

It’s an outlier but Redfield is a pretty good pollster.

Watching on RSBN cuurently. New Mexicans prefer ‘Hispanic’ over ‘latino’. 😊👍

Nella Domenici: There’s ‘a Lot of Momentum’ for New Mexico to Go Red

I'm expecting a "Close, but no cigar" moment at best.

New Mexico D@mocrats have an established tradition: wait until the state-wide vote totals are in, and if they’re losing, find enough ‘forgotten’ or ‘misplaced’ boxes of ballots in Socorro to win. IIRC, that’s how Bill Richardson got the state constitution amended to let him spend the ‘permanent fund’...

“I’m expecting a “Close, but no cigar” moment at best.”

Unless the partisan composition and demographics and New Mexico have changed, and unless every single poll including (R) polls are wrong by an astronomical amount....

...if Nella loses by only 5 points she’s done extremely well. A 10 point loss will likely be closer to reality than 5.

I’ll bet she comes closer to winning than Larry Hogan (TrumpHater-MD) does though.

She’s trying her damnedest and has raised a lot of cash, albeit nowhere near as much as the Democrat.

No recent poll has her winning and only one has her even close to being within the margin of error.

If Trump *really* does better than expected in NM (we’ll see about that) — and he is trying hard there too, as his rally in Albuquerque shows — then he may get Herrell the 5+ points she needs to win back that gerrymandered seat.

Democrat gerrymanderers changed NM-2 from being an R+8 district to being D+1. They had vowed revenge on Herrell, and they got it.

It’s asking a lot to take that one back, but stranger things have happened. It’s on my list of the 40 most “tossup” districts, but it’s not truly *likely* to flip.

You could argue that NM has a better chance to go red than PA.

Gotta wait long enough to know how many ballots they need to pull out of trunks...

New Mexico is I think under a generational ‘cruse’ to remain under the control of the hereditary ‘Dons’ families of old with the occasional ‘Anglo’ ‘Grafter’ (as long as he doesn’t take too much’ and ‘kicks backs’ some as ‘tithe’ or occasionally if they marrier into the family.

Trump asked the crowd today what there preference was. Overwhelmingly “Hispanic”.
