Join our journalists on a day with [00:00:28] live reports, results. in real-time in-depth analysis. [00:00:32] Election night in the United [00:00:35] 9:30 in the morning from the Angel of States, Tuesday on time in the Senate in CNN. CNN [00:00:37] America with Rebeca Kelly, from Monday to Friday on [00:00:40] CNN. [00:00:46] We are CNN, the World Leader in News. [00:01:09] race in the United States, with a lot [00:01:12] of activity, of course, from the campaigns, with Donald [00:01:15] Trump who is still campaigning, the former president Barack Obama has also [00:01:19] jumped in and is campaigning, who is also doing his part to [00:01:23] also has a factor because much of what try to call on the Democratic electorate in a race [00:01:26] where there is uncertainty, there is reserved prognosis, of course, in many states. [00:01:30] Where should we pay attention? We are going to talk about this, how the [00:01:33] race has been presented, we are going to talk about all of this on this occasion in México Opina, practically [00:02:08] How have you seen the performance of President Donald Trump? Let's see, in [00:02:11] general terms, at first glance, let's say, at first glance, well, [00:02:15] first of all, it looks like, it's anticipated as what they [00:02:19] call the blue wave. We don't know, because also 4 years ago there was [00:02:23] an expectation of a red wave and there wasn't, it was the other way around, [00:02:26] no. However, if the polls seem to be [00:02:30] benefiting the Democrats, but again, we don't [00:02:33] know. What happens is that I think the president [00:02:37] of the United States sees the polls, he is very aware [00:02:41] and therefore he has been, even before [00:02:44] the race began, when they were redistricting, [00:02:48] he imposed redistricting half of the [00:02:51] decade to win [00:02:55] counts, and that's what sometimes happens with districts on the Republican side, but well, it hasn't worked because now we are seeing that [00:02:58] many of the districts that were purely [00:03:02] Republican, today have become Democratic or are going to become [00:03:06] Democratic, but this is part of what Trump [00:03:10] is doing and that also when he sees that he is going to [00:03:13] lose this race, he was even seen [00:03:17] a couple of months ago even in a [00:03:20] closed session with Hakeem Jeffries who in any [00:03:24] case would be the [00:03:26] McAllen and I can see Speaker of the House, that is, the head of the house, but of the [00:03:29] House of Representatives, I think he is seeing this art of the [00:03:33] deal beforehand, no, but in any case he is saying [00:03:37] that if the Republicans do not win at least one of the [00:03:40] two chambers, it means there is fraud, no, because it is easier to anticipate, [00:03:44] as Bolsonaro also did in Brazil, [00:03:47] to anticipate that if he loses, it is because there is fraud, if he wins, there [00:03:51] is no fraud, in fact he said [00:03:53] no issue, no. What is it last weekend, this is what we have [00:03:57] seen, no, we see a President Trump [00:04:00] a little desperate due to a low approval rating, not very high, [00:04:04] and presenting himself at different rallies [00:04:06] and even pulling in people [00:04:10] who have nothing to do with it and with a very [00:04:14] strange discourse, he [00:04:21] the senators who are in contention because he sees them as very [00:04:25] handsome and that's what he thinks will help him win his [00:04:28] seat. Suddenly butts but [00:04:32] well, [00:04:34] well, there are cases where we know they have, but let's see, is Donald Trump on the [00:04:38] ballot? He has been campaigning, but he is on the ballot, is this part of it? Well, look, [00:04:42] Mario, I think so, definitely, I just returned from Washington [00:04:45] and what we see, not only in Washington but in [00:04:49] the United States, is that Donald Trump has placed himself on the [00:04:53] it has been one ballot, he knows that the data, ready for whatever among the Republican electorate, [00:04:56] particularly, he has a lot of strength, right? And even more so the Republican [00:05:00] who is going to vote in the race because what he is looking for is for [00:05:04] them to go vote, that is one of the first factors, right? It's that the Republican [00:05:07] who is not disheartened [00:05:10] and wants to vote in this election. The midterms are not [00:05:13] as enthusiastic in general for the American citizen as [00:05:17] the presidential elections are, so that has an important [00:05:21] factor, and without a doubt something that cannot be measured as [00:05:24] such is the factor that President Donald Trump offered at the [00:05:28] Republican Convention in Dallas of $5,000 per person per [00:05:32] adult, right? If he wins both chambers, then how much of a factor will that have [00:05:36] in this election? Well, we will know until the election. What is very certain, as Raquel says, [00:05:39] is that the polls do not give an adequate measurement [00:05:43] because sometimes they tell you that almost always they have said that Donald Trump will lose, [00:05:47] right? And he ends up winning, so it is difficult [00:05:51] to be able to measure the polls [00:05:54] without being directly in each of the districts. It happened in the recent past, [00:05:58] right? With the Hispanic vote, for example, which [00:06:02] went very low because it seemed to be a hidden vote that they didn't want to say and finally [00:06:05] many voted for Donald Trump and more in South Texas, right? Texas played a [00:06:09] central role here because you have a Senate [00:06:12] race, right? Which is a key [00:06:16] heart of the Republican party and here you have [00:06:19] Paxton fighting against the candidate O'Rourke, right? From the [00:06:23] Democratic party. The polls [00:06:26] go up and down but they have placed Paxton closer. Probably [00:06:30] the injection of $150 million from Elon Musk [00:06:36] happens in the United States also depends on how much money they have in the [00:06:40] race, right? And we see the races are expensive races. Very expensive, [00:06:49] $5,000 like that, increases the cost, now imagine it's [00:06:54] what it would cost with all the debate, Larry and Mark, also [00:06:58] Raquel, if this action is legal in [00:07:01] this regard, if it is legal to offer this as a [00:07:05] or a vote purchase, well, look, the [00:07:08] issue and why why it won't be, in my [00:07:11] opinion, it won't be a legal problem for President Trump [00:07:15] is because he offers it to all Americans, no, it doesn't matter if you vote [00:07:18] Democrat, conditional adults, exactly, [00:07:21] so, well, one could say it's ethical, that would be another [00:07:25] word, legally I think he will get away with it, ethically, well, [00:07:29] it depends on everyone's opinion, no, and also on the [00:07:32] electorate, how much that will play in the voting, [00:07:36] well, I can imagine that for a couple who are neither [00:07:39] Democrat nor Republican, well, the doubt comes in, no, hey, if you and [00:07:43] I vote $10,000, wow, what would we do, no, so I think it will [00:07:47] play an important role in this race, although always the [00:07:50] midterms do not favor the incumbent president, no, [00:07:53] so I think that will also play a role. The [00:07:57] difficult thing here and as you asked from the beginning is [00:08:01] how much is Donald Trump on the ballot, what is [00:08:04] ah, for example, in Texas he has had eight rallies [00:08:08] and President Trump spends his time from rally to rally, [00:08:11] right? Despite having been there four times, yes, yes, yes, it's a [00:08:14] huge number and and obviously [00:08:18] inciting and and enthusing [00:08:21] the base to go vote, particularly in South [00:08:24] Texas which is where it is considered there is more risk and who voted for [00:08:28] him in the first race, no, so he is trying to see if they will vote [00:08:32] for him again. That's where the doubt is, he is also [00:08:35] betting on the Senate, right? Because undoubtedly the Senate is one of [00:08:39] the factors that he sees as potential. I [00:08:42] particularly believe that because there are so many seats in the Senate [00:08:46] that the Republican party would have to lose, he will be able [00:08:48] to keep the upper house. The big question [00:08:52] is the lower house. If the Democrats don't win in the Senate, it's a [00:08:56] failure. I have a lot of hope in this case, [00:08:59] but obviously it's doubtful and there are [00:09:02] three scenarios, let's see, one is that they win [00:09:06] only the House of Representatives, the second [00:09:09] is they win the House of Representatives and the [00:09:13] Senate, but with a majority of one or [00:09:17] two, and the third is that they win both [00:09:21] chambers and the Senate with a majority [00:09:24] that facilitates actions [00:09:27] without always having fears [00:09:31] of losing by one defection or another. Those [00:09:34] would be the three scenarios, the three. Now, in [00:09:38] any case, it would not be good [00:09:41] to lose control in both chambers for President Donald Trump. The rest of his [00:09:45] term would be, yes, it would be a big problem, [00:09:49] no, yes, yes, definitely, yes, yes, [00:09:52] obviously if the Democrats did not win the House of [00:09:56] Representatives, it would be a [00:10:07] States. [00:10:21] The need to migrate knows no age. Some [00:10:25] say they want to reach Mexico City, but others seek [00:10:28] to go further [00:10:29] north. [00:10:33] The Mexican army's anti-drone battalion consists of [00:10:36] these types of elements of inhibitors to bring down drones [00:10:40] that have become a threat. The [00:10:43] Chiapas authorities have detected a cattle smuggling [00:10:46] point. This is one of the illegal crossing [00:10:50] points for cattle going from Central America to [00:10:53] Mexico. Thousands of protesters, workers from this [00:10:57] country, left at [00:11:00] Independence. I am in the municipality of Teuchitlán in [00:11:03] the Mexican state of Jalisco. Here the discovery was [00:11:07] macabre by collectives [00:11:11] disappeared persons. What made you come here with the suspicion [00:11:14] that your son could be on this [00:11:16] ranch? [00:11:21] I am Mexican-British, I have been practicing [00:11:25] journalism in Mexico City, in the United [00:11:28] States and now in Miami for CNN. CNN [00:11:32] América is a multiplatform program where you will [00:11:35] have information from all fields that will allow you [00:11:39] to understand the world from the angle you are seeing it. In [00:11:43] those three hours you will not only have information from a [00:11:46] political and economic point of view, but also [00:11:50] health from a women's perspective, but above all it is a [00:11:53] space where we can have conversations not to [00:11:56] polarize, but to integrate society. [00:12:01] excites me most is to inform, [00:12:04] inquire, investigate the why of things, go to the bottom of [00:12:08] the facts, here you will see what makes news and everything that [00:12:12] impacts your daily life. CNN América with Rebeca [00:12:15] Kelly, Monday to Friday on [00:12:17] CNN. [00:12:20] Our obligation as journalists is to tell things as they are, [00:12:23] we want to have great minds talking about the most [00:12:27] important issues that affect our countries and [00:12:30] us as people. Oppenheimer presents Sunday on CNN. [00:13:20] Business is all about making [00:13:22] connections. [00:13:27] but some connections are easier to make than [00:13:29] others. [00:13:34] With a CNN partner hotel, the world is always at your [00:13:38] fingertips. CNN partner hotels [00:13:42] connected to your [00:13:43] world. [00:13:53] We continue in México Opina talking about the midterm elections in the United States and what is [00:13:57] at stake. Let's see, Mark, you were telling us that if [00:14:00] the Democrats lose the House of Representatives, it would be a [00:14:04] real nightmare. The Senate is yet to be seen, but they already have [00:14:07] it practically secured. So the House of Representatives, 90% [00:14:11] is to win the lower house. Now, where are the [00:14:15] states? Larry was talking about Texas, which is one of the toughest disputed states. [00:14:19] In what other state do you see? Ah, well, it seems [00:14:22] that North Carolina is secure for the Democrat because [00:14:26] the Republican National Committee [00:14:30] funds to support its candidate, so [00:14:33] it's a, well, it's one more [00:14:36] addition. Ah, we also have [00:14:39] Ohio which is is close, the [00:14:43] well, the competition but [00:14:45] it looks good because Sherrod Brown is a [00:14:48] politician with a lot of experience, a lot of [00:14:51] credibility and lives for more. And [00:14:55] he has several problems. [00:14:58] He's also, we're talking [00:15:01] about Alaska, aha, which is [00:15:04] a big surprise, right? Because Alaska is super Republican. Yes, it has [00:15:08] been Republican, yes, no, there is competition [00:15:12] in Nebraska, [00:15:15] in Iowa, Iowa even in [00:15:17] Kansas. [00:15:20] Uh, well, I vote in [00:15:22] Kansas and [00:15:26] well, it's not probable, [00:15:29] but it's it wouldn't be [00:15:32] a miracle, it's [00:15:35] 10% 20% chance [00:15:39] because Kansas is super Republican [00:15:41] too. But well, [00:15:44] we're also talking about Maine, which is a [00:15:48] state, well, [00:15:50] purple, ah, that has [00:15:53] the sixth, the [00:15:57] sixth election for Susan [00:16:00] Collins, the sixth is the sixth, yes, it's [00:16:04] the, it's the Republican senator [00:16:07] now, Republican with the most history, [00:16:11] yes, how interesting. Hey, but Raquel said [00:16:15] a moment ago off microphone that the issue is winning, but [00:16:19] also the stance that Donald Trump might take on those victories [00:16:22] by arguing fraud. Now, it's one thing to denounce it, there's fraud here, and another [00:16:25] thing is to take it to have repercussions in the courts, that's [00:16:29] even more difficult. Well, I don't see it as difficult, and I'll tell you [00:16:33] why, because when he came to power in 2024, [00:16:37] he made sure to have many assets, many, [00:16:40] many things that would help during his [00:16:44] mandate, from having the judges on his [00:16:47] side, from even having the private lawyers on his [00:16:50] side, with whom he could work in case he had to make [00:16:54] any complaint, etc., or even [00:16:58] having the media and the media that were not [00:17:01] with him were fake news, [00:17:05] right? We know all this, he already has a lot [00:17:08] set up to be able to fight, [00:17:11] uh, let's remember that he is a natural pugilist, [00:17:15] he is a fighter, but also [00:17:18] he has been in this issue of, uh, [00:17:21] the deal, right? The deal for him, that is, making a [00:17:25] deal with the other, so that's why we are seeing right now [00:17:28] maneuvering in terms of the internal political [00:17:32] situation, but we even saw it not very [00:17:35] long ago, but a couple of weeks ago when he goes [00:17:39] and makes a deal with Putin for him to [00:17:42] give him diesel because diesel is very expensive and [00:17:45] that affects inflation in the United States and therefore [00:17:49] the elections, so he is also making a turn on the [00:17:53] international side to benefit him in return, so there are [00:17:57] many issues there, but I do see that he is [00:18:00] very, uh, clearly arranging how [00:18:04] to fight back, no. Now I think the Democrats are [00:18:08] too busy wanting to win, wanting to regain these seats [00:18:12] and even win some they have never had or that the [00:18:15] last time they had them was in the mid-20th century, as in the [00:18:19] case perhaps of Alaska, [00:18:22] I don't know, Iowa, no, Texas itself, [00:18:25] yes, yes, those states, so well, now [00:18:28] we'll see because he does want to fight, I see it. [00:18:32] Now one part is the discourse, we have seen that post-election [00:18:36] conflicts reach even what happened in Georgia, for example, to the ultimate consequences, [00:18:39] but we have also seen a change in the discourse, for example, of the [00:18:43] mail-in vote, which was very critical before, not so much now. The stance has [00:18:47] changed a bit, it seems more like an electoral strategy [00:18:49] or how do you see it? Well, partly [00:18:53] that, no, and there are states that frankly, uh, well, [00:18:57] he's going to question, like the state of Alaska that [00:19:00] we were talking about off air, well, Alaska has a [00:19:03] particular dynamic, no, because the Republican candidate is named [00:19:06] the same as a candidate who appeared out of nowhere [00:19:09] as an independent, so what Donald Trump says is that they planted [00:19:13] him so he would have the same name and divide the Republican vote, so for confusion, [00:19:16] for confusion, because since they have exactly the same name, [00:19:20] there's no doubt, so yes, for some voter who doesn't [00:19:23] pay attention, they could go for one or the other, no. If [00:19:27] he wins by a large margin, well, there will be [00:19:31] interesting about this race is [00:19:33] particularly the states that, as Raquel well said, [00:19:37] had been traditionally Republican, Mark didn't mention [00:19:41] Alaska, or Texas itself, no. What will happen? Perhaps [00:19:44] we won't see a big difference, perhaps Paxton, whom we don't anticipate, [00:19:48] will win by a large majority, then you would say, well, the polls [00:19:52] were wrong, no, Texas is a very Republican state, but what we are [00:19:55] seeing in the trends would seem to suggest that [00:19:59] the Republican party in Texas does not have the strength it had [00:20:03] in the previous election. What is very important and [00:20:06] also the profile of O'Rourke, no, which is clear. O'Rourke has been [00:20:09] attractive because because he is not for the [00:20:12] voter, he is very centrist, as Raquel [00:20:15] says, very Texan, no. [00:20:19] The most Republican Democrat and it could be, no, obviously [00:20:23] Paxton has looked for some areas where he could [00:20:27] attack O'Rourke, but [00:20:30] of the, uh, well, of the [00:20:33] most followed and most expensive races. However, [00:20:37] I think O'Rourke has a chance, I do think [00:20:41] he has a chance to enter, but well, Texans [00:20:44] are very Texan, and what happens [00:20:46] particularly is that, for example, [00:20:50] the religious issue is very important, and what they have [00:20:53] told O'Rourke is that he has publicly stated [00:20:56] that, for example, God is binary, [00:21:00] so he has some issues there that evidently for a [00:21:03] religious, conservative Texan make a lot of noise. [00:21:07] Paxton, uh, has been the attorney general, the reality is that [00:21:10] Texans adore Paxton, that's why he has had the numbers he [00:21:14] has had, no, the particularly Republican, obviously, no, [00:21:17] but it's a state where the majority [00:21:21] has been conservative. What has happened interestingly in Texas [00:21:24] is that it has been a state that has been changing its demography, because [00:21:28] cities like Austin and other cities have brought industries from [00:21:32] California, they have brought from New York, that is, it is one of the states that has had the most [00:21:35] internal migration, so those who come from California, those who come from New [00:21:39] York are no longer those conservatives who used to vote in the [00:21:42] state, no, so the demography has changed, that's why you see [00:21:45] cities that are now Democratic, no, the city of Houston, for example, [00:21:49] is Democratic, San Antonio, Austin, [00:21:53] no, uh, uh, and this has changed the demography [00:21:56] particularly in the cities, but here what counts is the vote outside the [00:22:00] cities, that's why what Trump has done, if we analyze it in [00:22:04] detail, is he has sought the voter who is in the countryside, [00:22:07] no, because those are his loyal followers, but, uh, [00:22:11] but he has to motivate them to go, because precisely what Raquel said, when [00:22:15] it changes from Cornyn to Paxton, there are those who are for Cornyn, they don't [00:22:18] like that change. There is no, and that, well, [00:22:22] evidently can make them not want to go out and vote, and if they don't [00:22:26] vote, well, that is evidently a political [00:22:28] cost [00:22:30] for the Republican party, no, but this is particularly important because [00:22:34] Texas is the Republican stronghold, just as California is the [00:22:37] Democratic stronghold, no. So hitting the Republican [00:22:41] stronghold, and that's why they spend so much on campaigns, both O'Rourke [00:22:44] and Paxton, part of the campaign is to throw dirt at [00:22:47] the other. That's normal in a race like this, so the important thing we'll have to note is [00:22:57] how this race ends and how close the margins are, [00:23:01] no, that is, if the Republican party manages to keep Texas, [00:23:04] it's how close those margins are and if they have [00:23:08] narrowed for the Republican [00:23:10] party and if the Democrats have grown, [00:23:14] yes, no, also for a possible post-election [00:23:17] conflict, the ideal would be large distances.

Lorenzo was shot by an immigration [00:25:44] agent, we face the world, is [00:25:48] it legal for a 3-year-old to appear alone before a judge?

As voters [00:26:25] decide, CNN analyzes the most important issues, the [00:26:29] key races, the voting data and what it all [00:26:33] means for the country, join our journalists on a journey with [00:26:36] live reports, real-time results, in-depth analysis, [00:26:40] election night in the United States, on Tuesday on CNN. [00:27:48] We continue in Mexico, Mark says, let's see, you also wanted to make a point about the [00:27:52] state of Texas, yes, it's good, the vote of [00:27:55] Latinos in Texas is quite [00:27:57] important and the position of Latinos [00:28:01] in the entire nation, even in Texas, has changed a lot [00:28:05] in relation to Trump, it's that, ah, [00:28:08] well, two years ago many, many [00:28:12] said that, ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, already, the [00:28:16] Republicans are competitive in in relation to the [00:28:19] Latino bloc, but not [00:28:22] anymore, it has, it has gone back, [00:28:25] it has returned, it has returned to to [00:28:29] normal percentages or maybe more. [00:28:34] And well, and partly, as Mark says, the Hispanic vote in Texas [00:28:37] is very important because it is practically a third of the [00:28:40] population, a topic that, that, that frustrates me with [00:28:44] Hispanics, being Mexican-American and and and also living in [00:28:48] Houston is that they don't go out to vote, no, that is, vote [00:28:51] Democrat, vote Republican, but go out to vote so that your vote, so that your voice [00:28:57] the Hispanic vote, particularly the Mexican-American, which is the largest, not the [00:29:01] Mexican-American. In the United States, there are almost 40 million [00:29:04] citizens, if they went out to vote, obviously the [00:29:08] politicians of both parties would pay a lot of attention to them, now what will [00:29:11] happen in South Texas is an important part because you have eh [00:29:15] key congressional districts that can make a difference [00:29:18] for either of the two parties, that's why President Trump just recently was in Corpus [00:29:22] Christi a couple of days ago, I was in in the Valley, in what they call [00:29:26] the Valley in Harlingen, Brownsville and [00:29:29] what Mark was just saying, it's an eagerness of of. of [00:29:32] wanting to be strong there, so we'll see how much [00:29:36] he can dominate that part, we saw with [00:29:39] Beto, El Paso for example is a eh is one [00:29:43] that that Beto conquered, so that [00:29:46] behavior of the Hispanic in the strip, let's say, in the border [00:29:49] strip will be very interesting to follow because he did vote for [00:29:53] Donald Trump, so if he doesn't vote it will be a significant protest vote for [00:29:57] Donald Trump, now I think that there is something interesting [00:30:00] why he lost.
