Trump’s impact on European politics: Rise of the right and liberals pushing back 

Recent elections in Romania, Poland, and Portugal reveal that the influence of Donald Trump on European politics is increasing, contributing to rising populism and polarization across the continent. While candidates like Romania’s Nicusor Dan and Poland’s Rafal Trzaskowski secured victories against Trump-aligned opponents, Portugal’s far-right Chega party made significant gains, indicating a fragmented political landscape. Experts suggest that Trump’s impact is stronger now than two years ago, reflecting broader global trends in political sentiment.
