Stefan Löfven (S) wants to wait to comment on the result of the presidential elections, as the vote count is still in progress.
– Of course, I follow the US presidential elections with great interest. Sweden has a good and close relationship with the United States, and the government hopes to cooperate with the future US administration, the prime minister says in a comment.
Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S) also does not want to speculate on the outcome.
– I have full confidence that American institutions can handle this in a legally secure manner. It may take a few days.
– It is a good day for democracy. It’s a very high turnout despite the pandemic, says Ann Line.
Lööf after Trump’s speech: “I’m worried”
Annie Lööf, leader of the Center Party, believes that the situation of equality leads to reflection.
– Remember how it was four years ago when the measures showed Clinton overweight. But I still want to say that nothing has been decided and there is still a chance that Biden will win. I am concerned about the speech Trump gave, which shows that he does not respect the democratic system, he says on Expressen TV.
The C-leader says she hopes the vote counting will continue in a legally secure manner. She points to the Democrats’ heavy focus on Trump as one reason they haven’t garnered clearer support.
– Democrats have been very focused on who they are against Donald Trump, but it is important to also show what they are for, says Annie Lööf.
Åkesson: Trump was underestimated
SD leader Jimmie Åkesson also comments on the electoral upheaval on Expressen TV. He thinks Donald Trump has been underestimated beforehand.
– This is often the case when it comes to the establishment and Republican candidates, you underestimate them and consider them a bit stupid.
– There will be a lot of focus on the person of Trump and politics will disappear, it’s a shame. I can understand that it is quite incomprehensible by Swedish standards for people to vote for him, but he is quite American in his own way and attracts a lot of voters. It manages to pique the interest of voters, says Jimmie Åkesson.
“Vulgar political culture”
Ulf Kristersson, leader of the Moderates party, does not believe the uncertainty will create unrest in the United States. At the same time, Trump’s questioning of votes by mail may irritate many voters.
– I think it’s to lift your spirits. I should have ice in my stomach now and wait for the result, so I hope both sides will respect the election result, says Kristersson on Expressen TV.
According to Leader M, the EU and the US have fallen apart during the Trump presidency.
– I don’t think American politics has been so inspiring in recent years. It’s a vulgar political culture that I don’t want to see in Sweden. At the same time, everyone in Sweden realizes that the relationship with the United States is important. There has been a troubled relationship in recent years, in terms of NATO and climate cooperation, and close transatlantic relations are important to Europe.
Praise Trump
Nyamko Sabuni, leader of the Liberal Party, says he was surprised that Donald Trump managed to win back public opinion with such force.
– As a liberal, it’s worrying, obviously I’m holding on to Joe Biden, he says.
Sabuni still praises the president of the United States on several points.
– Trump has the ability to destroy cooperation and international relations, but at the same time he has been good to continue developing the economy. He has managed to appoint justices to the Supreme Court, although I would have liked them to be liberal justices. I think it would be a mistake to say that everything he does is wrong, then he would declare American voters idiots.
“Biden is a pale politician”
Nooshi Dadgostar, leader of the Left party, is also concerned about the tight presidential election.
– Joe Biden is a pretty pale politician. I was hoping that Bernie Sanders had been there, who speaks more clearly about poverty and divisions in America.
She believes that at the same time there are positive trends in the country.
– There is a strong left movement within the Democrats, which is represented, for example, by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Young Americans prefer socialism to capitalism, despite strong propaganda from the right, says Dadgostar.
According to Ebba Busch, leader of the Christian Democrats party, the lawyers could decide the elections. “I look forward to a calm and sensible resolution of this, no matter how long it takes.”he writes on Twitter.
