Vice President Harris was projected to win New Mexico, in keeping with Resolution Desk HQ, selecting up the state’s 5 Electoral School votes.
Heading into Election Day, New Mexico was seen as a “likely Democratic” state, in keeping with Resolution Desk HQ forecasts — only a step shy of being solidly blue.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received the state by 8 factors in 2016, and President Biden expanded that to 11 factors in 2020. Democrats have held all statewide places of work since 2019, with a trifecta of management over the state Legislature and governor’s mansion.
Earlier than his historic exit from the race, Biden simply received New Mexico’s Democratic main earlier this 12 months, however a notable 10 p.c of the vote went to “uncommitted,” largely seen as a protest vote over the administration’s dealing with of the Israel-Hamas conflict. One other 7 p.c went to Biden’s long-shot challenger, Marianne Williamson.
