Read original story ↗Trump urged New Mexico to change its name immediately in an October 19 social media post. He claimed a new name would raise home values and incomes and improve elections, without supplying evidence for those outcomes. The demand revived an idea he had promoted in September and during an October congressional endorsement. It was a public proposal, not a completed state name change.
