This year’s midterm elections were historic, with results that are nothing less than a political earthquake. Across the country, in race after race, many voters repudiated President Trump and MAGA Republicans, giving Democrats control of the House and Senate.

To break down how these midterm results could decide the country’s political landscape, Jorge and Paola sit down with The Moment’s executive producer, Daniel Alarcón, to discuss milestones across party lines, the influence of Latino voters, and how the rest of President Trump’s second term could play out.

The Blue Wave & The Latino Vote: 2026 Midterms

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/82515b8a-87f0-4536-96df-b4f8012a1014/transcript

Michigan has become a political battleground, drawing visits from President Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and Bernie Sanders over the same weekend as both parties fight for control of the U.S. Senate. Much of the attention is on Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a 41-year-old former epidemiologist who, if elected, would become the first Muslim to serve in this position.

Recorded live in Holland, Michigan, Jorge and Paola sit down with El-Sayed to discuss the importance of the Latino vote in a state where Latinos make up 6% of the population, his plans to abolish ICE and strengthen border security, his views on intervention in Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, and why he doesn’t want to shy away from politically unpopular positions, such as Medicare for All.

Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon is running for U.S. Senate with a grassroots campaign that has surprised many, even within the Democratic party. If elected, she would become  Florida’s first Black senator.

With two weeks to go before the midterm elections, Nixon joins Jorge and Paola to break down how she is connecting with voters across the political spectrum at a time when Florida has a record number of registered Republican voters. She shares her views on the U.S. embargo on Cuba and the need for democratic elections in Venezuela. Nixon also talks about the anti-immigrant rhetoric she sees fueling division in Latino and Haitian communities, her plan to abolish ICE, and her three-part plan for bringing down costs for Floridians.

Could a Democratic Socialist Win in Deep-Red Florida?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7afa7c84-dd58-40c5-b47f-b4e901430b3e/transcript

Ben Affleck has spent decades working in Hollywood as an actor, writer, and director. This year, he sold his AI filmmaking company, InterPositive, to Netflix in a deal reportedly worth nearly $600 million, and his latest directorial feature, Animals, was released just last week. 

Now, Affleck joins The Moment to discuss his new film, a thriller about an independent candidate running for mayor of Los Angeles who needs the Latino vote to get ahead in the polls—all while his son is kidnapped. 

Affleck reflects on working with his Latino cast to get the Spanish and Mexican accents right, what the film reveals about political disillusionment as the midterms approach and the need for more empathy in a divided country. He also discusses how AI is changing filmmaking and how he used it in Animals, and why he admires Jennifer Lopez in an industry where Latinas remain underrepresented.
