New Mexico Democrat Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury had held up a sign that read: "This is Not Normal at the Trump’s joint speech to Congress. This could apply to the number of ballots cast in Grant County.
“Governor Grisham had planned on joining the Harris Administration in D.C. after the election. She was shocked when Trump won,” a source quoted. After all, Trump had lost New Mexico despite obvious support. Her shock was understandable.
