New Mexico governor rips Trump's 'New America' post, says name 'isn't up for debate'

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has publicly rejected a suggestion by President Donald Trump to rename the state 'New America.' The proposal originated from a social media post on Truth Social where the President shared a map depicting the state with the new title, claiming the change would be more prestigious and beautiful. In response, Governor Lujan Grisham stated that the state's name is not open for debate, noting that the name has existed since before the formation of the United States.

The incident follows a recent executive order signed by the President to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America.' The Governor’s rebuttal emphasizes the historical significance of the state's current name, contrasting it with the President's recent efforts to rename geographical landmarks.
