New Mexico was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan by an 18-point landslide.[1] President of the United States Jimmy Carter failed to gain reelection against Reagan. New Mexico election results reflect the Republican Party's re-consolidation under what is popularly call the "Reagan Revolution,"[2] which sounded overwhelming conservative electoral victories across the United States. As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time when McKinley County and Grant County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.[3]
