A top Democratic governor claimed at a meeting Wednesday that her party doesn’t “need any of the men” to win the 2028 presidential election.
Democrat New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham made the boast while speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting in Washington, D.C., alongside other state leaders and convention chairs.
The 7-hour-long meeting allowed state leaders to present their case to the committee regarding which states should be granted an “early window” status in the 2028 presidential nominating calendar.

Although a staff member admitted that Democrats are “losing their share of the electorate” in New Mexico, Gov. Grisham followed up by arguing that the party only needed female votes to be “good” in the election.
“If women — Democratic women — just show up and vote, we’re good. We don’t need any of the men,” Grisham said.

A New Mexico official remarked immediately before Grisham on the state’s strength in female Democratic voters. “We have more women and women of color elected in New Mexico than anywhere else in the country. We have the most female legislature,” she said.
New Mexico ranks second behind Nevada in its percentage of female legislators (54 percent), according to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP).
Gov. Grisham acknowledged Democrats’ difficulty in winning broader votes: “We can’t lose anyone. We should be winning by stunning margins given the shape of this country and the issues that we’re all battling every single day for the people that we love in our communities.”
“Should be no contest,” Grisham added. “But it is.”
