00:01:14issues, what happens
00:01:23The midterm elections in the United States start with Donald
00:01:27Trump at his historic low, barely
00:01:3033% national approval and 58% of
00:01:34voters demanding a Democratic Congress to
00:01:37counterbalance his
00:01:39with that we have made our point. administration, although the president is not on the
00:01:42ballot, the race for the House of
00:01:44Representatives gives the opposition a
00:01:4852% advantage against 44% among
00:01:51likely voters, the cost of living crisis defines
00:01:55the discontent, inflation rose to 3.7%, energy
00:01:59soared more than 20% and gasoline averages
00:02:02$4.41 per gallon due to the impact of the conflict with
00:02:05Iran and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Faced with
00:02:09citizen discontent, Trump has counterattacked,
00:02:12calling the cost of living debate a
00:02:16Democratic scam that means nothing, he says.
00:02:20Well, at the same time, the president claims that fuel
00:02:24prices
00:02:26reflect an eight-point will fall as soon as the war confrontation ends after the elections, and
00:02:30openly accuses Tehran of causing
00:02:33turbulence in crude oil to benefit
00:02:37the Democratic opposition in the American
00:02:39polls. Well, with early voting polls
00:02:43already open across the country, millions of Americans
00:02:46are voting in key cities such as Atlanta,
00:02:49Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Denver,
00:02:53Little Rock, Wilmington and Dover. And the long lines
00:02:56reflect an electorate determined to punish immediately. the
00:03:00ballots, the blow to their family
00:03:02finances, it is a crossroads in the Capitol,
00:03:06the protest vote and the economic crisis corner Donald
00:03:09Trump, and with that, let's put the point of law.
00:03:37Early voting in the United States began with the opening of
00:03:40hundreds of polling stations in Texas and most of the counties
00:03:44of Florida, metropolitan centers such as Houston,
00:03:48Dallas, Austin and San Antonio in Texas, along
00:03:52with Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale in
00:03:56Florida, registered a massive turnout on their first
00:03:59day. Adding to already operating centers in
00:04:02cities like Atlanta in Georgia, Phoenix in
00:04:05Arizona, Detroit in Michigan and Charlotte in North Carolina.
00:04:47when your own party subjects you to an impeachment process, it's a red flag. I've been a Republican all my life, okay, I defend
00:04:51states' rights, I share the general lines of the
00:04:54Republican program, but this shift towards the far right I can't
00:04:58follow.
00:05:01The Hispanic electorate defines the race in both states,
00:05:04due to its demographic magnitude, in Florida it represents
00:05:0828.7% of the total population, while in
00:05:11Texas. It exceeds 40.2%,
00:05:14consolidated as the majority demographic group, compared to
00:05:1839.8% of non-Hispanic whites, in
00:05:21Texas, where Democrats have not won a seat in the Federal
00:05:25Senate since 1988, the
00:05:27dispute between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Attorney
00:05:31General Ken Paxton turned the state into a high-priority
00:05:35battleground, given the Democratic advance in metropolitan
00:05:38areas and suburban counties, the Republican
00:05:41Party. allocated unforeseen sums of millions of dollars
00:05:45to advertising and grassroots mobilization to
00:05:48avoid a defeat in a historical
00:05:50stronghold.
00:05:53Both parties have made the decision
00:05:57to make a structural
00:06:00investment to mobilize the Latino-Hispanic
00:06:03vote in their favor. It is
00:06:06true that the Republicans
00:06:10have political control
00:06:13of both Texas and Florida, and
00:06:17therefore have all the capacity of the State to
00:06:20guarantee that mobilization and
00:06:23even impact the needs
00:06:26of that electorate at the
00:06:29time of when elections arrive
00:06:32and the vote has to be cast,
00:06:36the simultaneous voting in high-density cities such as El
00:06:40Paso, Fort Worth, Jacksonville. and
00:06:42Minneapolis activates the early capture of ballots in districts
00:06:46with victory margins of less than three percentage points, this
00:06:50early phase measures the direct impact of the Hispanic and
00:06:53independent vote in the polls before election day,
00:06:57a determining factor in defining the majority in the Senate and the House of
00:07:01Representatives. On the other
00:07:05hand, the Democratic Party
00:07:09has substantially improved its electoral offer,
00:07:13because the presence of Sanders, the presence of
00:07:17Osorio Cortés, the presence of
00:07:20all the political leaders of Latino
00:07:24origin in the Democratic party means that the Democratic
00:07:27party has the ability to impact
00:07:31positively and
00:07:34motivating the possibility that this
00:07:37Latino electorate seriously considers voting
00:07:40for Democrats. The United States enters a decisive
00:07:44legislative crossroads with the midterm elections, notice
00:07:48that in this race 435
00:07:51seats in the House of Representatives and one
00:07:54third of the Senate are contested under national
00:07:57polls that mark 52% Democratic support against
00:08:0144% Republican. The
00:08:04weight of the precedents is implacable. In nine out of every
00:08:0710 midterm elections, the ruling
00:08:10party in the White House loses.
00:08:15The American electorate goes to the polls in elections
00:08:18that function as a direct plebiscite on presidential
00:08:21management, the vote threatens to snatch the parliamentary
00:08:25majority from the ruling party, halt
00:08:27key reforms and leave the executive facing a divided
00:08:31Congress under opposition control.
00:08:34Midterm elections are important because they usually mark the
00:08:37decline of presidential power halfway through the term, that
00:08:41is, in the United States. Naturally, the most
00:08:44far-reaching, in-depth measures are the laws that Congress has to approve, if the
00:08:48president lacks a majority, if his party
00:08:51loses the majority in Congress, he is unable to approve
00:08:55major reforms and has to basically govern by decree or
00:08:58negotiate laws ad infinitum until the opposition
00:09:02approves them, so the president usually becomes what they
00:09:06call a lame duck in presidential jargon, that is,
00:09:09not a useless president but with a diminishing
00:09:13power. The United States celebrates the intermediary legislative elections,
00:09:17a direct examination of presidential management, the vote
00:09:20will define the control of Congress, a Republican
00:09:23defeat would snatch the official majority and block
00:09:26the reforms of the White House, they are held
00:09:29halfway through President Donald Trump's 4-year term. The
00:09:33constitutional date is set for next November 3. The
00:09:37vote takes place in all 50 states of the union, but the
00:09:40central impact falls on Washington.
00:09:51the House of Representatives
00:09:54passes into Democratic hands is important because the House
00:09:58controls federal funds, that is, it is the one who
00:10:01provides money for any type of policy initiative,
00:10:05it is also important that it has the capacity to
00:10:09create all kinds of investigation committees and that is what the
00:10:12Democrats are fighting for, that is one of the great objectives, that is, to open
00:10:16investigation committees, well,
00:10:18for the enrichment of Chuam's circle,
00:10:22for the issue of the
00:10:25use of military abuse, it is a way to stir
00:10:28up and bring to light a lot of
00:10:32important information for the electorate, especially for the 2028
00:10:35elections. The dispute pits the Republican
00:10:38and Democratic parties, led by the aspirants to the
00:10:42House and the senators who defend or seek to snatch
00:10:46key seats. In the Upper House, the margin is so
00:10:49narrow that a possible tie would leave the balance in the hands of the decisive
00:10:53vote of the vice presidency. The 435
00:10:56representatives of the House and 35
00:10:59senators are at stake, in case of a tie in the
00:11:02Upper House, the deciding vote would fall to the
00:11:06American Vice President JD
00:11:08Vance. It is not so easy
00:11:12to affirm that the Democratic Party will have
00:11:16this, it will achieve a
00:11:19resounding election and decisively
00:11:22defeat the Republicans. Therefore,
00:11:25when viewed from the point of view of needs,
00:11:28and we know that today within the United States
00:11:32the needs of daily life weigh more
00:11:36than ideological
00:11:39is that on the other hand, the
00:11:42defeat of the Democratic party in the various
00:11:45war scenarios, the globalist Democrats in the various
00:11:49war scenarios such as Ukraine and Iran
00:11:53have structurally weakened
00:11:55the power of the Democratic Party in the United States, something
00:11:59from which the Republican Party will
00:12:02try to make a strategic advantage, that
00:12:06is, to position that international situation as a
00:12:09strategic advantage for the
00:12:12hardline Republicans, that is, and the Republican party
00:12:15knows that this is the moment where it must
00:12:18guarantee to win no matter what in these
00:12:22midterm elections in the state.
00:12:26The electoral clock in the United States is already
00:12:29running and the battle does not wait for the central day of the
00:12:32elections. More than 40 states and hundreds of cities
00:12:36across the country already have their early voting centers
00:12:39and mail-in ballot drop boxes open. All this
00:12:42is working with millions of votes that are beginning to be
00:12:46processed beforehand and also polls that
00:12:51lead for the opposition. The margin of reaction
00:12:55for President Donald Trump's administration is drastically
00:12:59reduced while the future of
00:13:02power in Washington is defined.
00:16:10An internal split runs through the Republican machine
00:16:14while Donald Trump monopolizes the spotlight of the national
00:16:17campaign, transforming every electoral act
00:16:21into a referendum on his own figure. With
00:16:25disapproval levels ranging between 60 and
00:16:2868% in national polls, the president's support
00:16:31has become a double-edged sword that tests
00:16:35the survival of the conservative bloc in the legislative
00:16:38elections. Now, far from projecting a
00:16:42solid party discipline, his personalist
00:16:45strategy unleashes underlying tensions
00:16:48between party loyalty and the indispensable tactical
00:16:51calculation to retain Congress.
00:16:55Now, the economic promises, especially the
00:16:58radical ones and the legal challenges regarding public
00:17:01resources mark a high-voltage race
00:17:05that redefines the balances of political power in
00:17:08Washington.
00:17:11Despite being at his lowest popularity ratings, US
00:17:15President Donald Trump fights to win the
00:17:18midterm elections by any means necessary. His most
00:17:22recent strategy, to order the largest deployment
00:17:25of ICE agents in California for
00:17:2845 days, something that for analysts goes
00:17:32beyond just an operation against undocumented
00:17:35immigrants. For months, President
00:17:38Trump has been running a campaign to try
00:17:42to manipulate the midterm elections,
00:17:46it is no secret, this he has done
00:17:49openly and shamelessly, and he has
00:17:52tried from every possible angle,
00:17:56all illegal, among which stand out
00:17:59random redistribution of
00:18:02electoral districts, attempt to suppress the
00:18:05vote. by mail, making
00:18:09each voter show their
00:18:12passport at the time of voting,
00:18:15all failed, he
00:18:18only has the last one left and this
00:18:21is to try to persuade, especially in states
00:18:25that we consider flexible or swing states, to
00:18:29manipulate the vote there with intimidation, number
00:18:33one and two, without a doubt he will
00:18:36try to seize the ballot
00:18:39boxes afterwards, although the absolute
00:18:43power that Donald Trump has had has allowed him to take
00:18:46constitutionally illegal measures, attacking the
00:18:50electoral system could finally put him
00:18:54before justice. Apart from the efforts that the
00:18:58Trump regime is making to
00:19:00intimidate voters, it is to interfere in the
00:19:04midterm elections, there are laws.
00:19:07the United States that explicitly prohibit
00:19:11that, there are many state laws,
00:19:14but there are two federal laws that
00:19:17prohibit federal officials
00:19:19or military personnel from being
00:19:23stationed where elections are taking place, the
00:19:25penalty, if you violate that law, is a fine or
00:19:295 years in prison, another federal
00:19:33law also establishes the illegality of
00:19:36trying to intimidate voters. According to the
00:19:39latest polls, the indignation of Americans
00:19:42over the high cost of living, high gasoline
00:19:46prices and the war against Iran has been much
00:19:50stronger than Trump's strategies to prevent the Democratic
00:19:53vote. Donald Trump, his
00:19:56MAGA, in
00:19:59November is out, we have a dignified people here, the
00:20:03people of the United States who are already tired
00:20:06of so many injustices, so much harassment and
00:20:10so many violations of their human rights, and we
00:20:13believe that the American people will
00:20:16vote against these fascist policies,
00:20:20social organizations are already taking security measures to
00:20:24prevent a possible electoral fraud this
00:20:27November 3,
00:20:30Pablo and Henry Camelo,
00:20:33Telesur New
00:20:34York.
00:20:40The electoral board in the United States registers a decisive
00:20:43turn as the elections approach, while national
00:20:47polls and surveys in swing states
00:20:51place Democrats with a lead of between three and
00:20:55five points, the approval ratings of the Republican
00:20:59administration fall below 40%,
00:21:02evidencing an insurmountable gap between the optimism of the
00:21:04official discourse and the daily reality of the
00:21:08electorate. This loss of traction does
00:21:11not respond to cyclical fluctuations, but to
00:21:14deep structural cracks.
00:21:18Fractures and the fracture of the key alliance in working-class
00:21:21districts, discontent of key minorities and wear and
00:21:25tear due to an increasingly aggressive institutional
00:21:28rhetoric, configure a high-tension scenario that
00:21:32redefines voting behavior at the
00:21:35polls. The cost of living fractured the working-class
00:21:39vote, with accumulated inflation of 21% in basic
00:21:42foods and gasoline exceeding $4.80
00:21:46at its peaks. According to the
00:21:49Department of Labor, industrial districts such as Erie,
00:21:53Pennsylvania and Macomb, Michigan,
00:21:56abandoned the ruling party, 64% of the working
00:21:59class states that their economy worsened compared
00:22:02to 2021.
00:22:04Employment says one thing
00:22:08and another, businesses
00:22:12are closing
00:22:14due to high prices of fuels
00:22:17and everything in general.
00:22:20food. In foreign policy, direct
00:22:24military operations in Western Asia undermined the
00:22:27promise of non-intervention in endless wars. This shift
00:22:31broke the trust of isolationist bases and of
00:22:3458% of independent voters who reject
00:22:38new multimillion-dollar arms budgets approved by the White
00:22:42House.
00:22:44He has absolutely nothing to sell to the electorate about
00:22:48what was a good decision to have
00:22:51gotten involved in the war in Iran, which is
00:22:54unsellable
00:22:56in terms of benefits for the United States for having gotten involved in this
00:23:00war that he, in February, let's remember,
00:23:03promised to liquidate in four
00:23:05weeks.
00:23:08On the migratory front, federal raids and the
00:23:11suspension of asylum routes provoked an exodus of the Hispanic
00:23:15vote. Pew Research data reflects a drop
00:23:18in Latino support from
00:23:208% to 25% in swing states such
00:23:24as Arizona, Nevada and Florida, where urban
00:23:27communities in Phoenix and Las Vegas went from supporting the
00:23:30ruling party to actively mobilizing against it. Finally,
00:23:34the institutional questioning divides the country
00:23:37before the recount, with more than 120 legal
00:23:40appeals filed against mail-in voting electoral machines
00:23:44in critical counties such as Maricopa, Arizona
00:23:47and Fulton, Georgia. The discourse
00:23:50of anticipated fraud seeks to protect a base that is around 35% of the
00:23:54electorate, raising the risk of challenges
00:23:58and a post-electoral
00:23:59legitimacy crisis.
00:24:03The Republican party and in this case expressed by Donald Trump,
00:24:07when he makes the decision to
00:24:10hinder any instrument or
00:24:13way that makes it possible for the
00:24:16vote historically closer to the
00:24:19Democrats. to express itself,
00:24:22manifests the deep structural decision of the Republican
00:24:25Party to guarantee victory in the
00:24:28midterm elections in the United States in any
00:24:32way, in any form, at any cost,
00:24:36because the Republican party does not have margins
00:24:39not to win the midterm elections and, therefore,
00:24:43this is a situation that shows it very
00:24:46aggressive, very determined
00:24:49to invest. in electoral issues and in electoral
00:24:52mobilization to guarantee its victory in the
00:24:56midterm elections, something that on the other hand
00:24:59exposes it negatively to the general American
00:25:02public because it sees that there is a deployment of spending
00:25:06capacities that are directly oriented to
00:25:10electoral objectives and not to socio-economic
00:25:13objectives, the Republican party considers that this was
00:25:17a cost that it had to pay to not only
00:25:21guarantee at this moment
00:25:24to be able to reach with the
00:25:28control of the different variables that would
00:25:30allow it to win the elections, but that
00:25:33it also has a priority objective, which
00:25:36is that the internal situation within the
00:25:40United States, and
00:25:43not only between Republicans and Democrats, but between the great,
00:25:47the great popular masses in the United States. and the
00:25:50great and the great oligarchs
00:25:53that produce in the United States but do business in the
00:25:56world, this, Trump
00:26:00and Vance have a mission to
00:26:03prioritize everything that is done and
00:26:07consolidates the possibility of success in the
00:26:10elections, which have to do with the deep structural
00:26:13fracture in the United States, a fracture that
00:26:17divides the United States into two great
00:26:20sides, two great sides that clash and
00:26:23confront in an increasingly
00:26:26acute way. The United States arrives at these midterm
00:26:29elections fractured by a
00:26:32side that transfers the blow of inflation, cost of living
00:26:36and war crisis directly to the
00:26:39polls. The massive early participation
00:26:41confirms that the citizenry turned this process
00:26:45into an authentic plebiscite against the
00:26:48Donald Trump administration, threatening to snatch
00:26:51total control of Congress.
00:26:55With an opposition that capitalizes on social unrest and a
00:26:59ruling party that resorts to borderline
00:27:02acrobatics fearing a historic defeat, then
00:27:06the room for maneuver in Washington is
00:27:09running out. So, the endless
00:27:12lines of voters across the country reflect that the balance
00:27:16of legislative power is about to be defined from the grassroots.
00:27:20That said, next November 3 will not only
00:27:23define 435 seats in the lower house and the
00:27:27direction of the Senate. The Nation faces a test of
00:27:31fire for its own democratic institutionalism
00:27:34where the final verdict of the ballots will have the last

00:30:06In recent years, climate change, biodiversity
00:30:09loss and pollution have reached
00:30:12alarming levels, and the Earth alerts us to the need to
00:30:16act. Avoid constantly opening the refrigerator
00:30:20and check that it seals properly. Switch to LED bulbs that
00:30:24consume up to 80% less energy, adjust
00:30:26the air conditioning to 24 and 26°C and
00:30:30clean its filters regularly.
00:30:33Turn off lights and equipment at the end of your workday.
00:30:35Every small act multiplied becomes a big
00:30:39change. Turn on energy saving.
