US voters don’t take direction from foreigners, and American presidential elections, which play out state by state, are far different from those for the European Union.
Another lesson of the European elections is that in an age of inflation, incumbents are vulnerable to a disgruntled electorate.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are smarting from their rebuke in European elections that rewarded far-right parties that echo the continent’s dark past.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s low approval ratings mean he might not even lead his Liberal Party into elections due by the end of next year.
Macron, who heads a centrist party that was routed in the European elections, may be betting that the higher turnout in legislative elections could reverse the trend.
