In January 2018, Cuevas Barron left the National Action Party to join the left-wing National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) citing that the objectives of inclusion, pluralism and development were not met. She will pose as an independent for the rest of her term as a senator, until the inauguration of the LXIV Legislature of the Mexican Congress, where she will represent MORENA.
