Kamala Harris Wins New Mexico, Defeating Trump’s Bid for a Surprise Victory

 

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured a win in New Mexico, the Associated Press reports, squashing Donald Trump’s hopes for a surprise victory in the traditionally Democratic-leaning state.

Despite campaigning there just last week in an attempt to flip the state to his side, Trump’s efforts fell short. Harris’s victory in New Mexico adds five crucial electoral votes to her total, maintaining the state’s streak of backing Democratic candidates in recent elections.
