Trump rallies backers in New Mexico in bid to prise state from Democrats
Voters in New Mexico have not backed a Republican for president since 2004.
US president Donald Trump has told supporters in the Democratic-leaning state of New Mexico that his energy policies have made the state wealthier, and warned that these gains could disappear if the proposal known as the Green New Deal takes effect.
Mr Trump said in Rio Rancho: “The Democrats want to completely annihilate New Mexico’s economy.”
