New Mexico Democrat, Republican parties hold debate watch parties
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – New Mexican Republicans and Democrats both held debate watch parties as presidential candidates Vice-President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took the stage on Tuesday night.
Who won the Trump-Harris presidential debate?
Joining Republican State Senator Craig Brandt was Trump’s Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell. They blasted Vice-President Harris’ record arguing that the debate would show New Mexicans that Trump is best for the state. “We have to recognize that common sense is coming in the form of Donald Trump so we are here to announce that New Mexico is a state that we are going to fight for,” said Grennell.
Grenell was also there for the launch of the Log Cabin Republicans state chapter which is a group of LGBT conservatives.
New Mexico Democrats spoke on the debate praising Harris’ performance saying that she brought facts and optimism while her opponent spouted lies and stirred up division. “The contrast between these candidates could not be more clear. With Kamala Harris, we see a vision for the future that includes opportunity and freedom for all Americans. From the other side, from her opponent at the other podium, we saw the desire to sew the seeds of division,” said New Mexico Democratic Party Chairwoman Jessica Velasquez.
Velasquez argued that Trump did not show on Tuesday night that he has a plan for the country and added that people across the state are excited to elect Harris as the next president.
