What happened: President Donald Trump urged New Mexico on Truth Social to change its name to "New America," reviving an idea he floated last month and at the RNC Midterm Convention on Sept. 9. Why it matters: New Mexico's Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, said the state's name "isn't up for debate" and accused the White House of pursuing a distraction. The post lays out no formal process for a change. Key numbers: The name is written into Article I of New Mexico's constitution. Trump made the pitch at the RNC Midterm Convention on Sept. 9.
