US EditionAlbanese’s comeback from behind: After Canada, Donald Trump was a ‘third candidate’ in Australia’s national election too
- Australia held its 2025 federal election on Saturday, which Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor Party won, securing at least 82 of 150 seats.
- The election outcome followed voter concerns about the opposition led by Peter Dutton, whose alignment with Donald Trump and related policies weakened his support.
- Trump's tariffs on Australian products and his trade stance created economic strain, driving voters toward Albanese's more centrist and stable approach.
- Polling indicated Labor leading with 52.5% compared to 47.5%, while Albanese emphasized his commitment to prioritizing Australia's interests throughout his campaign.
- The increased Labor majority likely strengthens Albanese's position in managing foreign relations, signaling a preference for balanced diplomacy amid global uncertainty.
