Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez congratulated the Democratic Party on their victory in the U.S. midterm elections, which saw them gain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Sánchez posted on X that American society had voted against policies leading to poverty and against hatred. He further suggested that what just occurred in the U.S. would soon happen in Spain, ahead of his country's general elections scheduled for November 29. Sánchez's celebration comes amid increasingly strained relations between his government and Israel. The Spanish leader has been at the forefront of efforts to impose sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel, frequently clashing with the Netanyahu government. His positive reaction to the Democratic win also highlights his long-standing political differences with Donald Trump, a close ally of Israel. Other world leaders offered varied responses to the election outcomes. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius called the results a historic victory, while Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre told Reuters that the results signaled a significant political shift among American voters. Russia reacted cautiously, and Chinese officials described the elections as an internal U.S. matter.
