The US midterm elections determine the balance of power in Congress during the president's term.
According to forecasts based on incomplete results of the midterm elections in the United States, Democrats took control of both houses of Congress. US President Donald Trump announced that he would accept the election results. At the same time, he declared that he would veto the Democrats' proposals.
"As expected, in the US midterm elections, voters decided to change. Previously, the Republicans won, now the Democrats," wrote Marcin Przydacz on the X platform. The Head of the Office of International Policy of the President of the Republic of Poland added that "Poland will continue good cooperation with the USA, because it is our ally and cooperation is in our common interest."
"But this situation is a reminder for D. Tusk and his people. No government lasts forever. After one team, another comes. And the state must continue and the law must be respected. There will come a moment when voters in the Polish Sejm will decide on a change. And it may be quite soon," added Przydacz.
Bogucki: The Republicans did not lose miserably
Zbigniew Bogucki, the head of the president's office, also commented on the results of the American elections on Telewizja Republika. There were those who predicted the defeat of Donald Trump, the defeat of the Republicans. It didn't happen. Republicans didn't win this midterm election, but they didn't lose it miserably, he said.
He added that this situation proves that "predictions are often dictated more by desire or some scenario that some would see, than by an actual decision, in this case of the Americans."
Asked whether due to the change in the balance of power in the US, the chances for an American permanent base in Poland are not decreasing, Bogucki said that history shows that sometimes when the administration in Washington changes, decisions also change.
