ALBUQUERQUE, AUGUST 22-The Democratic National Convention (DNC) concluded tonight with Vice President Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic presidential nomination despite not receiving a single vote for president in the primary, having no policy listed on her website, and without holding a single press conference or unscripted interview.
An apparent trend throughout the Democratic Convention was their speeches centered around criticizing their opponent, in contrast to the Republican National Convention (RNC), which centered on promoting their candidate.
"The DNC was a Hollywood spectacle, where the speakers chose to turn up the negative Trump rhetoric, despite the former President's recent assassination attempt," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. "Very little real policy was discussed, similar to how Kamala Harris has run her entire campaign so far."
Vice President Harris has been criticized for using big name musicians and celebrities to bring in crowds to her events. The DNC followed the same pattern featuring the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, Lil' John, John Legend, Pink, among many others.
"While Kamala Harris featured famous celebrities and musicians throughout the DNC, Donald Trump featured the victims of the Harris administration's crime, open border, lawfare, and botched Afghanistan withdrawal," said Pearce.
Additionally, tonight, Interior Secretary and former New Mexico representative Deb Haaland delivered a speech lauding the Biden administration's radical climate initiatives.
"It is unfortunate for New Mexicans that Deb Haaland would use the national stage to push a climate agenda that would kill New Mexico's economy and jobs, keep gas prices high and hurt the livelihoods of Navajo allottees," Pearce continued.
Kamala Harris's speech included numerous promises about what she would do if elected, but she never addressed the most pressing question on Americans' minds: why isn't her current administration already taking these actions?
"All New Mexicans have to do is ask themselves if they are better off now than they were three and a half years ago. Under President Trump, New Mexicans had more money in their bank accounts, fewer violent criminals on the street, a secure border, and no wars. We are going to see a large portion of the population vote to see that reality return again," said Pearce.
