New Mexico Gov. Martinez won't commit to voting for Trump

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez won't say if she will vote for Donald Trump if he is the Republican presidential nominee. But the chair of the Republican Governors Association and the nation's only Latina governor said Tuesday she's "certainly not" voting for Democratic hopefuls Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
Speaking to reporters after signing a bill that stiffens state drunken driving laws, Martinez said around 70 percent of GOP delegates are still up for grabs and she still has time to make a decision.
"I'm certainly not going to vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. I'm just not going to do that," said Martinez, a Republican who won re-election in 2014 in the state with the highest percentage of Hispanics. "Even after today...there's still a lot of time."
Her remarks come following a recent Associated Press survey of GOP senators and governors across the country that showed just under half of respondents would not commit to backing Trump if he's the nominee.
