For nearly three decades, Jorge Ramos and María Elena Salinas delivered the news together to Spanish-speaking households across the United States. Now they are preparing to share an election night desk again, nearly nine years after Salinas left Noticiero Univision.
Salinas will join Ramos on his digital program, Jorge Ramos: Así Veo Las Cosas, for Tu Voz - Tu Voto, a series of specials ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, production company Tres Alebrijes announced Tuesday. The series begins October 6 and will air each Tuesday, leading to a planned eight-hour live broadcast on election night.
It is a return to the kind of coverage that helped define their partnership. Ramos and Salinas co-anchored Noticiero Univision for almost 30 years, bringing U.S. politics, immigration, and news from Latin America to an audience often underserved by English-language television. Salinas moderated a bilingual Democratic presidential debate in 2004, and the two appeared together during Univision's Spanish-language presidential forums in 2007.
Their new coverage will include reporters in key states, interviews, election results and an interactive map of the congressional races, according to the announcement. The weekly programs are expected to address the cost of living, immigration, the conflict in Iran and the country's political future. Tres Alebrijes said it will work with Factchequeado, a U.S. organization focused on misinformation in Spanish, to check claims during the coverage.
"During decades, Jorge and I covered presidential and midterm elections, and we understand perfectly how important it is for the Hispanic community to be well informed," Salinas said in a statement translated from Spanish. "Our goal is to provide the information they need to exercise their right to vote."
The announcement describes a reunion after almost 10 years, but the two journalists have been on camera together since their Univision days. In August 2025, Salinas interviewed Ramos on her podcast, Cinco Preguntas. In a video promoting the episode, they playfully recreated the opening of their old newscast before Salinas welcomed viewers to "our new life." Their conversation covered their years as colleagues, attacks on the press and the challenge of building journalism careers beyond television. This time, they are joining forces to cover an election.
Salinas's final Univision newscast in 2017 ended with mariachis playing "Cielito lindo" and an embrace from Ramos. He left the network at the end of 2024 and launched Así Veo Las Cosas the following year. Salinas, meanwhile, returned to Spanish-language journalism through Cinco Preguntas, where she interviews guests on issues affecting Latino communities.
Their work was recognized jointly in February, when Arizona State University presented them with its Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism. The university cited both their long partnership and their efforts to reach audiences through new platforms after leaving Univision.
"In this era of so much misinformation and polarization, it is an incredible opportunity to work with María Elena again," Ramos said in the announcement, translated from Spanish. "She is synonymous with credibility and experience. In other words, people believe her. And that is everything for a journalist."
The fact-checking component has a direct connection to Ramos. In August, Factchequeado reported that videos circulating on TikTok used an AI-generated imitation of his voice to spread false claims about immigration arrests. Ramos told the organization that the voice was not his.
For viewers who once watched Ramos and Salinas explain election results from a Univision studio, Tu Voz - Tu Voto will offer a familiar pairing in a different setting. Whether their digital election night can draw that audience back together will become clear on November 3.
