Poland presidential election: Can Trump decide Maga vs mayor battle in Warsaw?

Poland heads to the polls this Sunday in a fiercely contested presidential race between pro-EU centrist Rafał Trzaskowski and MAGA-aligned populist Karol Nawrocki. With global stakes and domestic divisions at play, the election could reshape Poland’s future and Europe’s. Trump’s backing of Nawrocki adds a dramatic twist to this East-West ideological showdown.
