EU Should Enlarge, Even Out of Despair – COMMENTARY
3 October 2024
Poland’s recent parliamentary elections offer crucial lessons for Kamala Harris’s campaign. By focusing on issues like reproductive rights and youth engagement – key elements of Poland’s opposition success – Harris could galvanise pivotal voter groups in swing states.
