Far-right candidate George Simion was declared the winner Monday in the first round of Romania's presidential election.

George Simion, a nationalist and vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, won Romania’s first-round presidential election redo by a landslide after capitalizing on widespread anti-establishment sentiment.

Eurosceptic George Simion won the first round of Romania’s presidential election re-run on Sunday, partial results showed, after a ballot seen as a test of the rise of Donald Trump-style nationalism in the European Union.
