The defeat of Donald Trump's camp in the elections. Bronisław Komorowski: That's good news

After the midterm elections, are we closer to establishing a permanent US military base in Poland? I don't think anything will change here - said Bronisław Komorowski on Radio RMF24.

Of course, the result of the internal elections may be a convenient alibi for the American administration to say "there will be no permanent American base in Poland apart from the base that already exists in Redzikowo," the former president added.

Komorowski also explained why the results of the American elections and the change in the balance of power in Congress can be interpreted as something positive for Poland.

The president of the United States is better if he does not reach an agreement with Putin on his own, does not decide to withhold aid to Ukraine, and is controlled in his often very strange behavior, he said.

According to the former president, "President Trump's activity sidelines Europe and Poland." This is a policy of reaching an agreement with Putin, twisting Ukraine's arms and forcing it into a lame peace by giving up Ukrainian territories, he argued.

Komorowski said that after the midterm elections we may be closer to ending the conflict between the United States and Iran.

A Democratic-dominated Congress could play a positive role in achieving some sort of compromise solution in the Middle East. Everyone will be interested in the end of this war bringing about a reduction in global oil prices in some perspective - said the guest of Radio RMF24.

"Americans voted with their wallets"

Americanist Rafał Michalski spoke on Radio RMF24 about the scale of the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections.

It's worst when it comes to Latinos. In some districts we are talking about a return of 40 percentage points compared to 2024. They also lost black farmers, voters who used social assistance and young people up to 29 years of age, he said.

Michalski also explained why there was such a turn among many current Republican Party voters.

Americans voted with their wallets, economic fatigue, political elite fatigue. Many of them survived the crisis of 2007 and Covid-19. Now they have to face customs problems and the problems of closing the Strait of Hormuz, he explained.

On November 3, 2026, we ended the era of Donald Trump in the current sense - summed up the guest of Radio RMF24.
