New Mexico could be getting a major spotlight in the 2028 presidential race, with the Democratic National Committee considering moving its primary to February 15th — making it one of the earliest states to vote. Currently held in June, this shift would place New Mexico fourth on the calendar, after South Carolina, Nevada, and New Hampshire, giving candidates a much bigger incentive to campaign here early. With a diverse electorate and recent progressive wins like free college and universal childcare, the state is positioning itself as a key Democratic battleground. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is pushing hard, emphasizing the state’s Hispanic and Native American voters as critical assets. The full DNC is expected to vote on the change next month — and for now, no similar move is planned for Republicans.
