US midterm elections reaction in Mexico and Democratic gains, Digi Mart USA News: As a Democratic wave expanded across the United States, political and business figures viewed the day’s results as a setback for President Donald Trump and his movement.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a Democrat, celebrated Democratic gains in Congress. “Democrats will now control the House and the Senate and will be able to hold Trump accountable.
That is great,” he wrote on X. “In a moment of enormous income and wealth inequality, we must do more.
We must fight aggressively for working families. No more excuses.”
Senator Jon Ossoff, who was re-elected in Georgia, interpreted the result as a rejection of Trump. Democrat Chris Pappas, in New Hampshire, described the vote as a “wake-up call” for the federal government and for lawmakers who supported cuts to health care and tariffs.
In Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott conceded defeat to Gina Hinojosa.
In Mexico, Larry Rubin, president of the American Society of Mexico (Amsoc), estimated that the three countries that make up the USMCA will reach an agreement before the end of the year, regardless of the new makeup of Congress. During the Election Night event organized by Amsoc, he explained that a Democratic majority could make it harder to approve Trump’s budget and legislative proposals, and he anticipated short-term economic fluctuations following the day’s results.
The Confederation of Customs Agents Associations of the Mexican Republic (Caaarem) said it will continue working to maintain the flow of goods and provide certainty to sector operations regardless of the election outcome. “Mexico is the main trading partner of the United States in goods.
That relationship goes beyond an election, and we must continue strengthening it through dialogue and institutional coordination,” the organization said.
The confederation acknowledged that political changes may pose new challenges and said customs agents will continue working to facilitate the exchange of goods.
Earlier, at her morning press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico will respect the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections.
“We do not offer opinions, it is not our place; we will wait for the result of the election and we will respect it whatever it is, we continue on our path,” she said.
