President Donald Trump’s campaign announced on Monday that Trump will hold a rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday.
The event, held just six days ahead of Election Day, will focus on the devastating policies under the Biden-Harris administration.
“President Trump will highlight Kamala Harris’ devastating policies that have wreaked havoc on New Mexico households from the border to the record high prices for everyday goods emptying their pocketbooks. For nearly four years, Kamla Harris’ economic policies have put unnecessary stress and pressure on New Mexico families,” the Trump campaign said in a statement.
“New Mexico’s inflation is at 22.1% forcing families to pay over $1,000 more per month for the basics. Since Kamala Harris took office, the average household in the ‘Land of Enchantment’ has spent over $30,000 more due to inflation. New Mexico voters know their wallets will hurt even more under four more years of Kamala Harris. What’s Harris’ plan to ease costs for hard working New Mexicans? More taxes. The Harris’ tax hikes would cost the average New Mexico taxpayer over $1,800 more per year. If that’s not enough, her tax proposals could kill nearly 800,000 jobs,” it continued.
The campaign statement also addressed concerns about New Mexico’s oil and gas industry under four years of Vice President Kamala Harris.
“If New Mexico voters don’t like the sound of that, just imagine the pain Kamala Harris would inflict to one of New Mexico’s top industries: oil and gas. Harris’ record on fracking is bad news for New Mexico,” the campaign statement argued.
“In 2020, Harris proudly declared she supports banning fracking. A Harris-Walz administration would no doubt put its foot on the neck of New Mexico’s energy: cumbersome regulations, drilling restrictions, and a likely repeat of the Harris-Biden administration’s devastating ban on Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exports—strangling New Mexico’s energy industry and workers,” it added.
Trump’s campaign statement also blasted Harris over the growing border crisis and its impact on the state.
“Kamala’s Border Blood Bath has wreaked havoc on New Mexico. From July to August alone, the New Mexico border saw a drastic uptick in illegal border crossings. In New Mexico, border encounters increased by 22 percent—in ONE MONTH,” the statement noted.
“Meanwhile, drugs and even terrorists are pouring across the border, and Border Czar Kamala Harris refuses to take responsibility,” it stated.
