Analysis

Clinton managed a 3-point-win in New Mexico, thanks to support from majority non-white areas such as Doña Ana County which contains the city of Las Cruces and is majority Hispanic/Latino, as well as McKinley and San Juan which are largely Native American and include parts of the Navajo Nation and the Apache Nation. Clinton also won in Santa Fe. Sanders, meanwhile, won by a narrow margin in Albuquerque and thus held Clinton to a fairly narrow margin state-wide.
