Pedro Sanchez is feeling hopeful following the Democrats’ sweeping victory at the US midterm elections this week.

The prime minister hailed the historic result as a sign that right-wing parties can be defeated in Spain’s general election on November 29.

The PSOE leader declared the ‘far-right wave’ crumbling after Democrats won control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in a major setback for President Donald Trump.

Writing on X on Wednesday, Sanchez drew a direct connection between the US result, the recent election in Brazil and Spain’s upcoming vote.

‘It happened in Brazil. It just happened in the US. And it will happen soon in Spain,’ he wrote.

He then targeted PP leader Alberto Nuñez Feijoo and Vox leader Santiago Abascal.

‘The far-right wave that Feijoo and Abascal are trying to ride is no longer growing: it’s crumbling.’

Sanchez said US voters had rejected policies that impoverish people, alongside hatred, sexism, climate denial and privileges for elites.

The Democrats’ gains extended into traditionally Republican territory, with victories in Senate contests including Texas, Iowa, Kansas and both North and South Carolina.

Incredibly, even Mississippi could turn blue, with the vote still too close to call at time of reporting and just 50 votes in it.

The scale of the victory has been described as a ‘blue tsunami’, marking a dramatic reversal from 2024, when Republicans secured the presidency and both chambers of Congress.

Sanchez made a similar argument after Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s victory last month, declaring that a global progressive comeback had begun and predicting that Spain would follow.
