Denmark to elect new parliament in vote clouded by Trump
High voter turnout is expected with polls showing the red bloc leading 48.9% and the blue bloc 43.3%, where a single seat could determine the new government.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democrats are expected to achieve their weakest result in over a century but are likely to remain in power following the election influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's attempt to annex Greenland.
- Trump's push to annex Greenland brought geopolitical attention to the campaign, but domestic issues such as cost of living, welfare, inequality, proposed wealth tax, and immigration dominate voter concerns.
- Frederiksen seeks a third term with a coalition predicted to lose its majority, although she remains the favorite to form the next government amid a divided political landscape.
- Centrist leader Lars Lokke Rasmussen could play a kingmaker role, and political analyst Hans Engell predicts Frederiksen will likely remain prime minister due to more stable support.
