Joe Biden got 50% (182k) of the vote to beat Donald Trump (144k votes) by 40% and Bernie Sanders (37k votes) by 10%.

Joe Biden wins 16 out of the 33 counties in the sate of New Mexico. Donald Trump won more counties than Joe Biden, but did not get as many votes as he did.

In a head to head match up on just the total number of votes, Joe Biden (83%) beats Bernie Sanders (17%). Joe Biden (56%) beats Donald Trump (44%). Donald Trump (79%) beats Bernie Sanders (21%).
