Lujan Grisham issues statement following Trump rally

SANTA FE — Donald Trump’s rambling and incoherent speech during his Oct. 31 rally clearly showed why New Mexicans have rejected his candidacy twice, and why we’re going to do it again on Nov. 5. While visiting the most Hispanic state in America, Trump continued to lob slurs at Hispanics and defend his rally calling our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters ‘garbage.’

The former president trashed the Affordable Care Act, and made it clear that his only ‘concept of a plan’ is to kick 324,000 New Mexicans off of their health coverage and jack up rates on 843,000 New Mexicans with pre-existing conditions. New Mexicans are rejecting Donald Trump’s anger, division, lies and chaos, and they’re supporting Kamala Harris’ vision of a New Way Forward with a clear-eyed, effective plan to improve the lives of all Americans. The choice is clear and I urge New Mexicans to join me in supporting Kamala Harris on Election Day, Nov. 5.
