<p>The MAGA campaign has been active in Romania, especially after the annulment of the 2024 elections, when American conservatives and European nationalists joined forces. Personalities from Trump's circle, such as Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance, commented on the situation in Romania, amplifying populist messages. Romanian right-wing leaders also began to see the MAGA movement as an opportunity to gain power. Despite external influence, the winner of Romania's presidential election, Nicușor Dan, emphasized that populist anger was already a phenomenon among voters, meaning that the emergence of a candidate like Călin Georgescu was independent of MAGA support.
