Trump faces venue challenges for Halloween rally in New Mexico over unpaid bills

Former President Donald Trump faced challenges in securing a venue for his Halloween rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, due to unpaid bills totaling nearly $445,000 from a previous event in 2019. The city’s mayor stated that outstanding debts prevent the use of city facilities. The Albuquerque Convention Center was unavailable, and city officials were not inclined to assist Trump in finding an alternative location. This situation reflects ongoing issues, as Trump’s campaign reportedly owes over $750,000 to various cities for past rally expenses. Trump lost New Mexico by nearly 11 points in the 2020 election, raising questions about the significance of his rally in the state just days before the upcoming election.
