George Simion, a nationalist and vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, won Romania’s first-round presidential election redo by a landslide after capitalizing on widespread anti-establishment sentiment.

Eurosceptic George Simion won the first round of Romania’s presidential election re-run on Sunday, partial results showed, after a ballot seen as a test of the rise of Donald Trump-style nationalism in the European Union.

George Simion, leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, emerged as the clear frontrunner in Romania ’s presidential election redo, securing 40.5 per cent of the vote with nearly all ballots counted. The vote followed last year’s annulled election marred by allegations of fraud.
