It's such a stupid idea because even people who voted for him have New Mexican pride and wouldn't agree with this change, it's simply stupid

New Mexico predates the modern country of Mexico, yes.
But when Spanish Conquistadors first reached the Valle de Mexico, in the 1520s, it was the most densely populated urban area on the planet at over a million people.
That's why New Mexico includes "new", because it wasn't the original.

Would that make the abbreviation NA?

Vance does not have any of the charisma nor the following that Trump has. His ability to coalesce a ruling party is low. It's why Trump is still in power.
