NM Goes ALL BLUE! [View all]

In what has been described as a "stunning turn of events" Democrat Xochitl Torres Small was declared the winner in NM 2nd Congressional district. She defeated Yvette Harrell a Trump puppet in a very red district that was open because Congressman Steve Pearce resigned to run for Governor. (He Lost!) What makes this even more dramatic, is that Ms. Harrell gave her acceptance speech last night. Ha ha ha! It gives us NM Dems so much satisfaction to have flipped that seat!
