Following the elections of 2018, the PT became the third-largest political party in the Chamber of Deputies with 61, after Morena with 191 and PAN with 81. Political maneuvering briefly established PRI as the third force in August 2020, although it later turned out that PT and PRI were tied with 46 seats each after doubtful PRD deputy defections in favor of PRI
It received 3.25% of the total votes cast in the federal elections of 2021, placing it as the seventh national political force. The Congress of the Union has 33 federal deputies and 4 senators in its LXV legislature.
