Why did New Mexico governor reject Trump rebrand proposal?

New Mexico's Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham dismissed Trump's suggestion of renaming the state "New America," telling Fox News Digital the name "isn't up for debate" [1]. She also framed the proposal as a distraction tactic by the administration, aimed at diverting attention from issues like rising living costs and healthcare access [1]. The rename idea itself originated from a Trump Truth Social post, later amplified by the White House, though no explanation was given for the suggestion [4].
