Japan’s Trump-Endorsed ‘Iron Lady’ Scores Landslide Victory in Japan — Securing Mandate For Deeper U.S. Ties

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is projected to win a commanding victory in a snap general election, according to early exit polling released Sunday night.

Public broadcaster NHK estimated that the coalition headed by Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is on track to secure a two-thirds supermajority in the House of Representatives.

The LDP alone is expected to win enough seats to govern outright, marking a dramatic turnaround for a party that had lost its parliamentary majority just two years ago.
