Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is projected to secure reelection, driven by public dissatisfaction with President Trump's trade war and its effects. The Labor Party leader, who was trailing in polls prior to the election, has benefited from voters seeking stability amid global uncertainty. The results demonstrate the impact of Trump's tariffsâwhat many voters perceived as detrimentalâultimately resulting in a shift toward the incumbent Labor Party. The election reflects a broader trend, with center-left governments gaining ground globally in response to Trump's policies, while conservative figures like Peter Dutton struggled for support.
"Trump has absolutely dominated the trajectory of this election," Kelly said, adding that the global uncertainty unleashed by Trump had made "Albanese's boringness quite an appealing commodity."
"Around the world, Mr. Trump's unpopularity presents an opportunity to center-left political parties," said Michael Fullilove, executive director of the Lowy Institute, a Sydney think tank.
