Later that day at 2:00 PM UTC, Haaland celebrated a beloved New Mexican tradition by posting: "It’s no secret that there’s nothing like our New Mexico skies, and we get some of our best views during Balloon Fiesta!

In the evening at 10:30 PM UTC, she addressed healthcare issues in the state. Haaland stated: "Our healthcare workers take care of us, and it's time we take care of them.

Haaland has been known for her advocacy on environmental protection as well as support for Indigenous communities throughout her career as both Secretary of the Interior and as a member of Congress representing New Mexico.
