Trump-backed candidate seeks to win Polish presidency in tight European election runoff
Warsaw's Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, backed by former US President Donald Trump, is set to face off against conservative challenger Kaczyński in Poland's presidential election runoff on Sunday.
President Trump's shadow looms over Sunday's Polish presidential election runoff, with polls indicating a narrow contest between Warsaw's mayor Rafa Trzaskowski and conservative challenger Kaja Kossinets, both vying for the top spot in a crucial European election. The outcome is seen as a bellwether for EU politics, given Poland's pivotal position in the region. A Trump-backed candidate has failed to make it to the final round, with some speculating that his influence may have hurt his chances. The winner will face challenges from both left-wing and right-wing groups in the coming years.
