I wouldn't sweat about the NM-SEN race. Per FiveThirtyEight, Senator Martin Heinrich has still been averaging quite a healthy lead in the polls over Republican Candidate Nella Domenici (an average of 5+% points ahead). The fact that the Domenici name isn't making this a close race is telling.
Heinrich btw won re-election in 2018 by nearly 24% points, in light of the fact that Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson ran in the Senate race and got 15.38% of the votes. If Johnson didn't run in the race, Heinrich would have likely gotten around a 8% margin of victory. I expect he'll get around this margin of victory this time around as he's built incumbency status as a 2nd term Senator.
Also, on a side note, the late Pete Domenici was an old school Republican Senator who wouldn't fit in today's GOP. After he retired in 2008, Domenici had accepted Barack Obama as POTUS and was hopeful he was going to unite the country. It's possible the Domenici name wouldn't exactly be a selling point for the Trump-influenced Republican Party of today. Note Liz Cheney.
