Poland’s Presidential Runoff: Trump-Backed Candidate Challenges Warsaw Mayor in Crucial EU Election

Political outsider and conservative Karol Nawrocki is looking to defeat Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, in Poland’s presidential election on Sunday.

President Trump’s shadow is cast over this Sunday’s presidential election runoff, with polls showing a tight race between Warsaw’s mayor, Rafał Trzaskowski, and his conservative challenger, Karol Nawrocki. 

The Associated Press reported that Donald Trump met with Nawrocki at the White House earlier this month and sent DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to a meeting of CPAC in Poland, where she offered an endorsement.

Speaking in support of Nawrocki, Noem said he would rule in the style of President Trump.
