Far-left New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has expressed interest in pursuing the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2028. Speaking at Harvard University’s Kennedy School, the two-term governor stated, “I’m worried about my country, and I’m worried about my planet. If you really are in that position on any of those things, then that’s a call to action in whatever way any of us can be useful.”
Lujan Grisham emphasized the need for increased female representation in politics, noting that women should hold elected offices proportional to their percentage in the population. She remarked, “I’d like to see more women elected… if we’re going to really uphold a fragile democracy… then you have to represent the people in the right ways, which means 54%-plus are women.”
However, her tenure as governor has been marked by several controversies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lujan Grisham implemented strict lockdown measures, asserting that such actions were necessary to curb the virus’s spread. She stated, “Expansive lockdowns were necessary to keep COVID-19 at bay.” These measures faced criticism from various quarters, including business owners and civil liberties advocates, who questioned their impact and constitutionality.
Adding to the controversies, in October 2021, it was revealed that Lujan Grisham’s campaign paid $150,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim. A former campaign spokesman accused her of pouring water on his crotch and then grabbing his genitals through his clothes during a staff meeting. The governor’s office denied the allegations but claimed it opted for a settlement to avoid prolonged litigation.
In September 2023, Lujan Grisham issued an emergency public health order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, citing recent shootings involving children. This directive was met with immediate legal challenges. U.S. District Judge David Urias temporarily blocked the order, stating that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their case, referencing constitutional rights.
Furthermore, Lujan Grisham has faced criticism from within her own party. Her approaches to tackling addiction, mental illness, and violence have led to clashes with fellow Democrats. In December 2024, she advocated for measures compelling mentally ill and drug-addicted individuals to receive treatment, a stance that sparked debate and highlighted divisions within the party.
As lame duck Governor Lujan Grisham contemplates a potential presidential run, these incidents from her gubernatorial tenure are likely to be scrutinized, shaping both public perception and her political trajectory.
Lol…Really?
Free press for the Santa Fe tolite seater mental health nutcase midget?
Name recognition John… Polls booths and voters align with names they can recall…good or bad.
Refer to her as the Queen of the tolite seat in Santa Fe New Mexico from now on… no name recognition, no free press, less voter addiction to a nut case.
Jus saying John… subtitle hints…
…pretty sure no one desires to vote for a queen of a tolite… why?…
Because no one enjoys the smell of… sh*t… except like minded mental health insane people and I’m thinking we got them outnumbered by like 2.1 million to 30,000.
Live in WA State… have lots of crazy here gutterment-wise, but this lady, seems likes she’s trying to outdo the demonrats in WA & Commifornia
Takes plenty of cash to make a run…all that weed tax perhaps ?
MLG is a true textbook example of narcissistic behavior.
She is the face of the democrat party, pleeeeease run oh governor of us stupid idiots. You are the greatest leader ever, even better than Joe Biden your mentor. Where do I donate?
Just the thought of her running makes me long for the Rapture!
Me too! Jesus come quickly!
Could life get any more ridiculous ? after 8 years of failure she thinks she should run the nation. Ive never seen such a lack of self awareness. Im tired of incompetent people wanting control and telling us all how we should live. THIS IS NOT NORMAL
But that’s “democracy.” She is used to thinking that minority opinions are or should be the majority. She is also not cut out for national politics. Did you see the photos of the Trump speech where she was there? Dressed all in white like a naive schoolgirl, sitting in the back of the room like the unpopular girl at a dance, hoping to be noticed. Desperate and powerless looking. Even if I was one of the mentally ill people who think she’s a great human, she’s done nothing to cement any reputation as a player. Keeping your state locked down a year longer than the rest of the country and gun-grabbing instead of closing the border and fighting crime positioned her as a tyrant-mind. Not a powerful woman like the job would require. I asked a friend of mine who doesn’t live here what she thinks of Grisham and her response, “Typical low value human who thinks that showing up and screaming loud entitles her to a big piece of cake and special treatment.”
I think by putting her on the nations stage will only prove to expose to the world what a communist tyrant she really is.
She is so scandal-ridden and has positioned herself as an idiot on the world stage so many times that she’d have no chance. The world sees what a disaster she’s made of this state and how many poor decisions she’s made. I think Trump winning said it all, especially when you look at the coverage maps. Even in NM…Trump won by a landslide outside of ABQ, Taos and SF. If she wants to continue in politics and think of herself as some benevolent being…she can go work for radically aligned orgs like Planned Parenthood, Susan Komen or PETA. The fact is, she is 60+ and at the point where women in corporate get cast aside. Politics is even more cutthroat and she has nowhere else to go. Nothing left for her here and she won’t be considered for anything in Trump’s administration.
What a joke!
After 8 years, NM is last in all the best things and first in all the worst things.
Democrats have no sense of reality!
She is the absolute perfect example to the level of BRAIN ROT these despicable demoNAZIs have and live in!!! Its this level of mental disorder that she thinks she is capable of running the country, absolutely ridiculous!! If these people are not stopped, April 12, 1861 may be in our future once again! The demoNAZI rot is real, and it appears it not going away,,,
I believe she should run, I mean she should be a shoe in, she has successfully led New Mexico to have the best schools in the Nation, our drug problems are gone, the gangs are off the street, she has successfully taken the guns from the criminals and allowed law abiding citizens to remain armed, our government went from 3rd worst in the nation to the best in spending our tax dollars, we are now in the top (instead of the last three) in every measure of successful government management. Am I right or am I just dreaming? Yes she should run. I would like the democratic party to take another loss.
Spot on Brother! In reality, I think she would be a TOP tier candidate for their party. Just look who is now leading their party? All the items we Republicans keep coming up with are Democrat party stepping stones to higher levels.
These people are not ever held accountable. Look at the BS California’s Newsome is currently putting out.
You go girl. She would be a wonderful leader of the Democrat party. Please 🙏
April Fools was a few days ago. Oh wait she is the FOOL…!!!!
Delusions of grandeur.
😀😉😊
PLEASE RUN AND GUARANTEE ANOTHER GOP WIN! She’s the most unliked governor in the US.
Agree. As a MAGA Republican, I want to see her run and maybe end up as the VP on a Walz, AOC, or Harris ticket.
Maybe a close 2nd to the most recent and current WA state guttermen aka Jay the snake Inslee and sideshow Bobbie Ferguson
She wants to be Mrs. Hitler
She wants to be Queen of the shit house
NM IS the ugly, unpopular girl @ the high school dance who never gets noticed. Electorally, NM is not important on the national stage for her name recognition or to be the DemoncRAT presidential nominee (altho her tyranny & love for abortion up to birth certainly make her QUALIFIED). But Kneepads Harris & Whitless Whitmer come up as possibles & she’s buds w/ both so VP could be a very remote possibility (1st LATINX VP!) but even the VP needs to carry an important state & NM – thx to the DemoncRAT chokehold on the state for every bad thing – is not
She’s not worried about her country or the planet. That’s epitome of an oxy-moron. She’s worried about lining her pockets and advancing herself, nothing more.
Doge should see how she became wealthy. Where did the pot tax and oil and gas money go!?
Only one HUGE problem with that plan.
We are returning to the REPUBLIC we were founded as…..and she ain’t Republic material.
She will get laughed out of the country.
Everyone knows how horrible NM has become under her dictatorship.
I agree, James. In time, the Demonrat Party will cease to exist as we know it. There will be no place for her and her ilk in government… if they’re not locked up behind bars by 2028.
Let’s watch how she handles the riots this weekend, if they happen. Will she call in the National Guard if things get violently out of hand? Or will she sit idly by blaming President Trump and his supporters?
My guess is she won’t know how to handle it which should seal her fate once and for all. Can’t run a state, how the heck does she think she can run this country, let alone be a world leader?????? Delusion at it’s finest.
Run the add from her first gubernatorial race where she is running thru a wall knocking it down – was that suppose to be the southern border wall?
85% of Americans want that southern wall.
Live in WA State… have lots of crazy here gutterment-wise, but this lady, seems likes she’s trying to outdo the demonrats in WA & Commifornia
An absolute horrid leader, and the women actually outrepresent the men here in NM politics. Most are graduates from Emerge NM that takes them even further to the left. We dontbneed more of her kind in politics, we need less.
She must be kidding. If she isn’t, what the hell makes her think that there is any chance in hell she could snag the nomination, let alone win. She has been a disaster for New Mexico, and the American people are not stupid enough to let her get even close to the white house.
