New Mexico 2028 Primary Push: Matanza Rally Draws Kelly, Van Hollen

A pig roast, a possible 2028 primary slot, and two senators testing the waters — New Mexico just got political. Hundreds of New Mexico Democrats gathered at Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque for a traditional pig roast and a presidential cattle call to introduce potential 2028 White House hopefuls to voters. Sens. Mark Kelly and Chris Van Hollen attended the rally, which was hosted by Sen. Ben Ray Luján and designed to introduce the 2028 crop to the state. The event was part of New New Mexico's efforts to secure its spot as the fourth contest on the Democratic primary calendar for 2028. The state's entry into the early nominating calendar is expected to put Latino voters more prominent before Democratic presidential contenders. Supporters believe this will force candidates to pay closer attention to Hispanic and minority voters.
