New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham accused President Donald Trump of trying to distract Americans from other issues after he suggested changing the state’s name to “New America.”

Trump posted an image on Truth Social Sunday showing a map of New Mexico with the word “Mexico” crossed out and replaced with “America.” He later wrote that many people had suggested changing the name to “New America,” describing the proposed name as “more prestigious and beautiful” for the state.

Lujan Grisham rejected the idea, saying New Mexico’s name “isn’t up for debate” and noting that the name predates the United States. She then shifted her response toward other issues, accusing Trump of attempting to distract Americans from the war in Iran, rising gas and grocery prices, health care concerns and housing costs.

The governor’s comments came shortly after Trump’s post circulated online. Other New Mexico Democrats also criticized the proposal, including Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján and Reps. Melanie Stansbury and Gabe Vasquez.

Trump has recently promoted changes to the names of geographic features, including the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. However, no executive order has been issued to rename New Mexico, and the Sunday post did not constitute a formal change to the state’s name.

The exchange remained a social media dispute, with Trump promoting the “New America” idea and the governor and other state Democrats rejecting it. New Mexico has retained its current name since becoming a state in 1912.
