Australia’s center-left government convincingly won reelection Saturday in a remarkable turnaround driven partly by anger over President Donald Trump’s disruptive trade war and its effect on the close U.S. military ally.
Anthony Albanese became the first Australian prime minister to win a second term in more than two decades as his Labor Party dramatically increased its parliamentary majority. It marked a stunning comeback for the progressive leader, who trailed in the polls two months ago.
In a jubilant victory speech, the 62-year-old struck a tone of unity while alluding to his opponent’s failed embrace of Trump-like policies.

MAGA governance does not work. The world is getting a real life example of this and they’re not going for it.
