Albuquerque –
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign and Democratic leaders of New Mexico had a stand-off about where the former President would hold his rally for his NM supporters. The campaign ultimately decided to have the campaign stop at the CSI Aviation Operations center at Cutter Aviation.
There were some logistical hurdles for supporters to get to the venue with parking and gridlock traffic near the Albuquerque Sunport. Spokesman of the Albuquerque Sunport Diana Lopez sent out an email during the morning:
The Albuquerque International Airport is advising passengers traveling today to plan ahead as there is significant traffic congestion at all entry points to the Sunport. This heavy traffic is expected to persist throughout the morning and afternoon. Additionally, passengers who need to return a vehicle at the rental facilities at the Sunport should also anticipate delays. At this point, there are no impacts to scheduled flights.
As a reminder, the rally for Former President Donald Trump scheduled at noon is a private, non-city sanctioned event taking place at a private hangar.
The Republican presidential nominee had a noon time rally and his team flew in on one of his privately owned 757 jets with TRUMP emblazoned on the hull. He arrived to a crowd just after noon chanting his name and trying to get a glimpse of him as he exited the plane.
We at ABQ RAW are horrible at counting people with large crowds. We rather not get in a debate of how many people attended, but we can tell you that the venue area was packed with standing room only crowds within fire marshal limits and many supporters turned out for the former President. There was an outside holding area with a big screen for people to watch the rally who could not make it inside.
Former President Trump spoke for more than 1.5 hours on topics relating to national and New Mexico issues.
Mayor Tim Keller took to social media to post about an “un-paid” invoice from a 2019 visit. The Mayor of Albuquerque has been holding onto the invoice for over 4 years. He cites $211,175 in unpaid fees, it is related to police, closing downtown, and sick leave because of sending workers home early.
Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham released a statement through her campaign email list:
SANTA FE — Donald Trump’s rambling and incoherent speech today clearly showed why New Mexicans have rejected his candidacy twice, and why we’re going to do it again on Tuesday. While visiting the most Hispanic state in America, Trump continued to lobby slurs at Hispanics and defend his rally calling our Puerto Rican brothers and sisters ‘garbage.’ Today, in Albuquerque, the former president trashed the Affordable Care Act, and made it clear that his only ‘concept of a plan’ is to kick 324,000 New Mexicans off of their health coverage and jack up rates on 843,000 New Mexicans with pre-existing conditions. New Mexicans are rejecting Donald Trump’s anger, division, lies and chaos, and they’re supporting Kamala Harris’ vision of a New Way Forward with a clear-eyed, effective plan to improve the lives of all Americans. The choice is clear and I urge New Mexicans to join me in supporting Kamala Harris on Election Day, November 5.
I sat through gridlock created by MLG and Mayor Keller which could have been avoided if they weren’t busy playing petty politics. MLG obviously did not listen to his speech because he said no such things. It was clear by the attendance, regardless of the hoops people had to jump through to get there, that New Mexicans love Donald J. Trump!
Amen! The rally was there and nothing but good respectful patriots that love our country and want a better place for our children to live in here in NM! Go DJT let’s win this state!!!!
Right on!
Im gonna pray for you Stuart. Whoever wins the election….you should visit this website.
Just check it out. https://leavingmaga.org/
You should pray for yourself maybe he can help you get rid of all that evil and anger built-up inside you
TRUMP 2024
Yes, Trump said none of the Lies MLG stated. He talked about NM issues. How he will help bring back the NM economy and keep us out of war, and get crime down by deporting the illegal criminals.
So um…this is just so exhausting. Everybody lies except the big lying criminal con artist himself. The grapist. Ugh. Vote blue no matter who people. We need to get rid of this stink 4ss dead horse so we can get back to normal life. Where politics isn’t a contact sport. It just goes back to administrating government for the people instead of against US.
Trump has not paid his bill. Why should the taxpayers cover his rallies? Just like anybody that doesn’t pay. No pay no access to services? AND ALL politicians should pay for ALL of it. Fencing, security, barricades… ever little single bit of it. As far as voting for Trump? Vote according to your values and your conscience. I have never gotten so much important information about a person’s character than knowing they voted for Trump. Tells me all I need to know to figure out exactly where they stand. I love this. I hope we keep this out in the open.
Troll TRUMP haters. Go seek help
Trump needs to go to a retirement home. Be sides all his horrific language, ideas, hallucinations, retorheic, and behavior traits. HE IS OLD!!!!
Biden needs to go to a retirement home. Be sides all his horrific language, ideas, hallucinations, retorheic, and behavior traits. HE IS OLD! There, fixed it for you.
It must be so exhausting being a professional victim. Must of us do not like this man.
I’m sorry, but you say “most of us”. How do you know? Bc there’s a small poll of 639 assumed voters done before the rally?
I don’t like liars and Keller lied about the amount owed and who owed it and MLG lied about what he said.
AMEN
Tim Keller is whining and lujan is bedded with biden. The oath betrayed she is a traitor to NM and our great country. Tuesday she will cry like a baby
❤️
Lol. Just stop. OMG.. Bedded? Oaths, betrayal? You want her to cry? Seriously? Do you hear yourself? Win or lose, either side…What do you think is going to happen? We are ALL American. What DO you want to happen to her for exercising HER voice? Jail? Put her in a camp? Physically injure? In what ways would you be ok hurting her or ruining her life because she DISAGREED with you? Listen to yourself intently and ask yourself if this is YOU. Would YOU be so PASSIONATE if these exact type of RUINOUS things were to happen to your kid, your mother, your sister, your brother? All because she/he DISAGREED with YOU? This is not who we are. You are American. You are my brother/sister even if you vote for Trump. I would fight to make sure you have your rights. Defend you if you were abused. All we have is our vote, our voice and each other. Really listen to yourself. Disconnect from the craziness you are living and reconnect with your family. Try to relax. It’s not a good thing when you hope people cry. It’s not normal. It’s not a betrayal neither to state or country. It’s a vote. Her/his vote. Her/his voice. Just like yours it should be valued and respected.
Fact:she betrayed her oath. Plane and simple. Your the one talking all the hate and violence not me mft. Get some help for all that pinned up anger.
TRUMP 2024
Oh BTW mashelle we the people don’t give a crap what you think or say traitor. MAGA 2024 missy
Trump 2024…… MAGA!!!!! Make new mexico a better place Trump.
MLG ignores the reality of the tens, of thousanS of Trump supporters. the people who work our farms, ranches , and oil fields. She joins Biden basically agreeing that Trump supporters are trash. Hateful is closing schools and businesses while you purchase jewelry / bay waga beef, and alcohol For her parties. The abortion super center on the Texas border is hate. Demonizing Oil and gas while not deversitying NM economy is hate. Supporting chemical castration of minors is hate, The Democrats love 2 things. The sound of their own voice and power.
I would vote for Kamala when hell freezes over.
Kamala!! What a joke…lets vote for her and totally destroy the values of New Mexico
And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them. MLG Analogy.
Nothing nice to say about mlg. She is a constitution hater and she loves being in charge. Trash hound at best I’ll be glad when this traitor is given her walking papers
I was stuck in the Trump traffic mess trying to catch a flight, and yes I knew about the rally, and yes I left home in ple ty of time to catch the flight. It was frustrating and anxiety producing and I wish they would have had a venue many miles away from the airport.
You can thank NM worthless, governor mayor for that. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yes Stewie. Be sure to practice your goosestepping. MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGSIN eh? Nothing but hate, bigotry, and violence. “I love the poorly educated“. – DJT
WA WA WA WA YOU TALK ABOUT BEING WHITE AGAIN. THAT’S ALL YOU DEMOCRAPS GOT. RACE RACE RACE. WA WA WA WA WA
LIKE I SAID FREE RENT IN YOUR HEAD.
I GOT YOUR SNOWFLAKE HANGING COMMIE
You can thank trump for not paying his bills for his past bullshit rally that he never paid…
TRUMP TRAIN!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why is it only republic can candidates get charged by the state of New Mexico? Our governor and mayor are so corrupt. If it’s illegal and puts money in their pocket, they’re all for it.
Yes Stewie. Be sure to practice your goosestepping. MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGSIN eh? Nothing but hate, bigotry, and violence. “I love the poorly educated“. – DJT
The journal reported that Bernie also did not pay for anything. But his bill was less because the police didn’t have to protect his rally from criminals.
They can fuck off since we have the right to peacefully assemble as stated in the First Amendment. Fuck the KKKommunist Dictatorship Marxist Extremist Regime. You are FASCISTS trying to censor free speech like FASCISTS. You do know that throughout history anyone censoring free speech were always the bad guys right??? The “dem” party is gone in case there are still stupid demKKKommunist sheep still too stupid to figured it out yet. Trump should NEVER have to pay anything for a First Amendment right already in the Bill of Rights. Albuquerque can shove this bullshit bill up their KKKommunist asses. You KKKommunist Dictatorship Marxist Regime should move to North Korea too. Fuck off.
Damn, you’re stupid. He doesn’t pay his bills. That’s why he can’t get a place to have his gifting meetings.
Look in the mirror to see STUPID.
I am disappointed in your reporting of this event. I watched this and I heard what he actually spoke about. Your description is inaccurate. He was mostly whining and grieving and calling people names. Talk about a bias. Sad!
Excuse me but Santa Fe is incorrect. There are a large number of Trump supporters here in New Mexico, we are drowned out by loud obnoxious democrats.
I did not appreciate the Governors comments. I have the right to decide who to vote for. As a prior Federal employee, we were forbidden to share our comments on any candidate with the public why is this not true for our Governor. I was also very disappointed in those who are supposed to be representing all of New Mexico but when it came down to it they did everything in their power to not allow those Trump supporters the opportunity to rally and show support for who they chose to vote for in the election. They tried to place many roadblocks to not allow his visit. This is not fair to our citizens who these so called leaders work for. I have been undecided and wanted to hear what he had to say so I can make an informed decision.
Yet not one person who is pro-fascist has yet to denounce the deplorable remarks made by this orange cult leader. Are you OK with people not paying their bills? I bet you are as long as you like them right? He has not paid his bills in Albuquerque. Look it up that is why no one wanted to let him use the parking areas because he does not pay his bills. He’s done that his whole life.
Sounds like you are the deplorable one. TRUMP has free rent in your head. MAGA 2024

TRUMP has free rent in a lot of peoples heads, I love it TRUMP syndrome WA WA WA
You forget to change your name there? Posted the same thing as “Julia”. LMAO
You have to pretend to be multiple people when you’re anti-Trump because you’re so outnumbered by his supporters.
Typical leftist. Fakes, frauds and liars.
TRUMP syndrome.
F harris and her commie clan members
“I don’t care about you, I just want your vote”. DJT. What a bunch of suckers. Don’t you have some bobble heads or Chinese made mega hats to buy?
You must be related to tampon tim
It’s a Dem thing….comment under multiple names, vote under multiple names.
There was nothing rambling or incoherent about Trump’s speech yesterday in Albuquerque. He was very clear on what he plans to do when elected. Trump has not lobbed any slurs at Hispanics. He did not defend the comments about Puerto Rico by a guest at a recent rally. Finally, there is nothing clear-eyed about what the queen of worthless word salad has for New Mexicans or anyone else in the country for that matter. Her standard answer to any question nowadays is, “I was raised in a middle class family…”. Grisham and her ilk need to be gone. New Mexico has been controlled by democrats for close to 100 years and is last in everything good and first in everything bad. The numbers speak for themselves…
One last comment-it is curious that “Skip” and “Julia” above have the exact same words in their comments. Is it required nowadays that dems plagiarize everything they utter?
AMEN
Just another KKK rally. That’s all he has.
Skip, what say you?
Here we go again WA WA WA WA. TRUMP syndrome. Go get some help baby cry
Says the cultist who will cry “rigged” when the man baby loses. Snowflakes.
Nice try commie. Sounds like we ruffled some feathers. WA WA WA WA.
Aww stewie keep bowing at the Orange altar. Your Orange makeup wearing simpleton is going down. Then you can cry “rigged”, “stolen” with no proof to soothe the dictator wannabes fragile little ego. We all know what the violent MAGATS are about. Hate and white suptemacy,
Is that all you got name calling. Sounds like you need some more attention baby.
WA WA WA WA YOU TALK ABOUT BEING WHITE AGAIN. THAT’S ALL YOU DEMOCRAPS GOT. RACE RACE RACE. WA WA WA WA WA
LIKE I SAID FREE RENT IN YOUR HEAD.
I GOT YOUR SNOWFLAKE HANGING COMMIE
DonOLD is old and dementia is taking its toll whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Coherent? Lol please tell me where one kid goes to school and two days later he comes back a different gender? Did you conveniently forget that part? The rest was a tirade of hate and name-calling. “I don’t know want to think unless tRump tells me”. Just keep sending the “billionaire“ your money. He will love you.
WA WA WA WA WA DONALD SYNDROME, GET OVER IT. LEFT DISHES OUT MORE HATE THAN ANYONE
Another 12 year old MAGAT incel. Cry harder.
KOAT Investigates reported that in the last 23 years Trump is the only political figure billed by the City of Albuquerque for security and associated costs. This includes Bush, Clinton, Obama, Sanders and Biden. They interviewed Marty Chavez, Mayor for 12 years, and he said he never ever considered billing a visiting President, Vice President or Political candidate. Tim Keller disdain for Trump on full display.
BS. Chump has gone his whole life without paying bills. Ask Rudy Giuliani. Lol keep making excuses for the wanna be dictator. Make sure you send him all your money since he is such a “billionaire“.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham are the best examples of K9 excrement that ever existed.
Kamala Harris doesn’t have any experience that would qualify her to be president. She relied on her knees and mouth to climb up the political ladder. A vote for Harris is a vote to bring back the Obama presidency.
YOU are dumb as hell. And should be on your knees right now.
OK, I tried to find a complete sentence in the gov’s statement, but I failed. She uses the left’s continuous lies about things she knows nothing about. Her main goal? Keep New Mexico in the dark ages for as long as possible, and she is succeeding.
