Harris wins New Mexico
Vice President Harris was projected to win New Mexico, according to Decision Desk HQ, picking up the state’s five Electoral College votes.
Heading into Election Day, New Mexico was seen as a “likely Democratic” state, according to Decision Desk HQ forecasts — just a step shy of being solidly blue.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the state by 8 points in 2016, and President Biden expanded that to 11 points in 2020. Democrats have held all statewide offices since 2019, with a trifecta of control over the state Legislature and governor’s mansion.
Before his historic exit from the race, Biden easily won New Mexico’s Democratic primary earlier this year, but a notable 10 percent of the vote went to “uncommitted,” largely seen as a protest vote over the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Another 7 percent went to Biden’s long-shot challenger, Marianne Williamson.
