Far Right Candidate Endorsed by Trump and Orban Narrowly Wins Polish Presidency
Briefly

Karol Nawrocki of Poland's right-wing Law and Justice party won the presidential election against Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, an outcome endorsed by international right-wing figures. Celebrations erupted among political allies, including Viktor Orbán and Jordan Bardella, highlighting a significant ideological alignment across Europe and the U.S. Nawrocki's victory, supported by endorsements from figures like U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, symbolizes a potential shift toward right-wing governance in Poland, accompanied by hopes for strengthened ties with the U.S. amidst historical voter turnout in a tightly contested election.
The Polish people have spoken and their free and democratic choice must be respected, including by the Brussels leaders who ardently hoped for their defeat.
If you elect a leader who will work with President Trump, the Polish people will have a strong ally. You will continue to have a U.S. military presence here.
