Biden’s former interior secretary Deb Haaland wins Democratic nomination for New Mexico governor

Deb Haaland, who previously served as Interior Secretary under President Biden, has clinched the Democratic nomination for New Mexico governor, beating Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. With 17% of the vote counted, she secured 78.3% of the vote, while Bregman garnered 21.7%. This win positions Haaland to potentially challenge the incumbent governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, in the general election. Haaland's nomination is significant as she has been a prominent figure in environmental policy, suggesting a focus on these issues if she takes office.
