ALBUQUERQUE — Pam Cordova was out on the Albuquerque asphalt Wednesday afternoon to support her presidential candidate of choice; her enthusiasm wasn’t dimmed by the heat or the fact that neither Vice President Kamala Harris nor running mate Tim Walz was actually there.

“This is probably gonna be the closest thing we get†to a Harris-Walz campaign visit, said Cordova, a Belen resident and former Valencia County Democratic Party chairwoman, standing near the campaign’s “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom†bus.

“New Mexico is a blue state, and she needs to be in the states we need to win,†Cordova said of Harris.
