US midterm elections 2026 results and Mexico-US relations, Digi Mart USA News: SOMOS, a Mexican political party, says the American democratic system showed that citizens’ votes remain above any power. According to the party, the attempt to remove ballots through the Supreme Court, the push to consolidate a court aligned with a conservative agenda, and hundreds of millions of dollars spent by Trump allies to advance an agenda against citizens’ interests did not prevent the vote from prevailing.
SOMOS argues that institutions held because no single actor controls them and there is a balance of powers. The statement says the Court checked the executive branch, and it calls for Mexico to restore an effective system of checks and balances to protect the future of its own democracy.
The statement also highlights changes on the border. With Gina Hinojosa’s victory in Texas, all four Mexico-border governorships will be held by the Democratic Party.
SOMOS warns that the transition could disrupt coordination mechanisms built over years with the Republican administration of Texas, and says Mexico cannot afford that gap. It also sees an opportunity to rebuild the border agenda at the municipal level, covering crossings, customs, water, security, trade and dignified treatment of people crossing the line.
SOMOS cautions against interpreting the result as an immediate change of course. According to the statement, Donald Trump retains executive power for the next two years of his term, and a weakened president may become more unpredictable.
It notes that the review of the USMCA has no agreement since Washington refused in July to extend the treaty, that deportation policy continues to affect thousands of Mexican families, and that Republicans and Democrats share common interests on security and fighting organized crime. The party says the new Congress may act as a counterweight but is not a guarantee.
The statement also notes new voices in office. Gina Hinojosa will be the first Latina governor of Texas, Xavier Becerra the first Latino elected governor of California, and Bobby Pulido won a majority-Latino South Texas district from Republicans.
SOMOS says these leaders know Mexican-American communities and could become more sensitive interlocutors for Mexico, while noting that dual nationality of both governors is a relevant factor.
Reflecting on the outcome, SOMOS says voters cited government corruption and cost of living as key factors, and believe the president places personal interests above those of the country. The party states that Mexicans understand this story and that citizens can decide the same in 2027.
SOMOS says it is willing to work with the new U.S. Congress, regardless of party, on an agenda to protect the rights of Mexican nationals, boost Mexico’s economy and development, and restore confidence with its main trading partner.
It demands that the Mexican government immediately open dialogue channels with new legislative and state leaders, strengthen the consular network in response to deportations, and transparently report on the status of the USMCA review. It also calls for compliance with international treaties signed by Mexico, including the Extradition Treaty, and for commitments on the handover of narco-politicians to be honored.
The statement concludes that more than 80% of Mexican exports go to the United States, and that this relationship should not depend on improvisation, rhetoric or the unilateral decisions of either country’s executives. It calls for greater cooperation, negotiation, presence, dialogue and proposals.
