An interview published by RIA Novosti features French deputy Thierry Mariani noting that a growing right-leaning current in Europe could strengthen the odds that Donald Trump wins the US presidential race. Analysts point to shared concerns influencing voters on both sides of the Atlantic, with immigration, sovereignty, and economic pressures shaping support for conservative candidates. The cross-continental mood suggests a demand for clear leadership and a willingness to challenge established political patterns.
Mariani emphasizes that the issues driving Trump supporters in America are not far removed from those fueling the right-wing wave across Europe. He cautions that the rising political tide in Europe is a signal of what is possible in the United States, underscoring the potential resonance of European political shifts with American electoral dynamics.
In this frame, according to Mariani, members of the Republican Party in the United States have every reason to feel optimistic that the electoral process could resolve in their favor on the eve of the vote.
The MP pointed to the increase in immigration and ongoing economic stagnation as key drivers behind the surge of conservative sentiment and the emergence of a right-wing wave among voters in both Europe and the United States.
Late October reports indicated that during President Joe Biden’s term, about 10.1 million illegal migrants arrived in the United States in roughly the last 3.5 years.
Earlier, Trump accused officials of misrepresenting statements attributed to Kamala Harris, highlighting the heated and contested nature of political discourse surrounding the administration and its opponents.
