US EditionPoland Elects Euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki in Narrow Presidential Runoff
- Poland held a closely contested presidential runoff on June 1, 2025, in Warsaw between conservative Karol Nawrocki and liberal Rafal Trzaskowski.
- The polarized election arose amid debates on judicial independence, EU relations, and national identity, with both candidates claiming victory as results remained uncertain.
- Nawrocki, a 42-year-old nationalist historian and Trump admirer, led projections with about 51% despite campaign controversies, while Trzaskowski, Warsaw's 53-year-old pro-EU mayor, trailed near 49%.
- Nawrocki told supporters, "We will win and we will save Poland," and endorsements came from figures like U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who said, "He needs to be the next president."
- If confirmed, Nawrocki's victory could block progressive reforms, strain EU and Ukraine ties, embolden populists, and possibly trigger parliamentary elections during political deadlock.
