I've never heard of the firewall in NM. What's the number we need there??

There is one congressional race there that might be somewhat competitive in a non presidential year; there's really nothing to see here on the federal level(I know nothing of the state\local races but I have to believe that the Democrats are in decent enough shape)

On a bad night I could see a loss in NM-02 but it's probably at least Lean D at this point with the rematch and Harris probably at least narrowly winning there.

Agreed; Larry Sabato has it Lean D

To me New Mexico is the dog that isn't barking about a Latino GOP shift this year. Biden won by a little less than 9 in 2020. If there were really a big red shift among Hispanics, the presidential and Senate races would probably be at least fringe competitive, and Vasquez likely toast after winning by less than 1 in 2022. Instead he seems to be comfortably ahead, and otherwise there isn't a peep out of the state.
