Democrats Respond to Trump's Proposal to Rename New Mexico to 'New America'
State politicians have pushed back against a social media post by the president suggesting the state change its name.
State senator and other Democratic politicians hit back at President Trump after he posted on social media that New Mexico should be renamed 'New America,' according to The Guardian.
The proposal prompted swift criticism from state officials. Meanwhile, primary elections are underway in New Hampshire, where the Democratic primary for Chris Pappas's House seat features eight candidates, including Stefany Shaheen, daughter of the outgoing senator, and former Obama administration official Maura Sullivan.
