Younger and Hispanic voters helped build Donald Trump's winning coalition. On Tercer Grado, Leopoldo Gómez argues that their movement away from Republicans helps explain the scale of the party's midterm defeat, not simply the loss of congressional control.

The political discussion on Mexico's NMás brings moderator René Delgado together with Gómez, Denise Maerker, Raymundo Riva Palacio, Viridiana Ríos and Leo Zuckermann. Democrats have won majorities in both chambers of Congress, leaving the Republican president facing an opposition legislature for the remainder of his term.

Gómez opens by describing a coalition coming apart. Maerker interprets the result as electoral accountability: voters punished Trump, she argues, for failing to deliver on living costs and immigration. She calls the outcome a victory for democracy, emphasizing the electorate's ability to demand consequences from those in power.

Riva Palacio also reads the election as a vote against Trump personally. His contribution adds a more local dimension to the national picture, pointing to Republican setbacks in Kansas and Nebraska and arguing that energy issues and dissatisfaction surrounding data centers contributed to discontent.

Ríos stresses how unexpectedly large the defeat was. She describes fractures within the MAGA movement and points to weakening Republican support among Latino voters and voters with lower levels of formal education. These are the panelists' interpretations of the result, rather than a single agreed explanation.

Zuckermann supplies the other half of the argument: Democrats did more than benefit from frustration. He credits their focus on the cost of living and their recruitment of competitive local candidates, highlighting Texas as a particularly striking Republican defeat.

The upload is titled "Crisis del INE y el impacto de las elecciones en Estados Unidos | Tercer Grado - 4 de Noviembre 2026", meaning "INE crisis and the impact of the elections in the United States." INE is Mexico's National Electoral Institute. In the election discussion, Delgado's next question is about presidential power: at 19:00, the panel turns to whether an opposition Congress will make Trump a lame duck and what possible impeachment proceedings could mean.
