German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated on November 4 that the Democratic Party's winning in the U.S. midterm elections may lead to increased American support for Ukraine. Wadephul expressed hope for more bipartisan cooperation in Congress on the issue, according to UATV English. He emphasized that Germany would continue working closely with the United States, regardless of the election outcome.
Wadephul expressed optimism that renewed discussions between the two U.S. political parties would occur in Congress regarding how they can collaborate to support Ukraine. He noted that this was not a focus during the election campaign, but acknowledged committed supporters of Ukraine in both chambers and both parties. Wadephul emphasized that their current goal is to work closely with the U.S. administration to resolve conflicts in both the Middle East and Europe, which may lead to new initiatives.
Preliminary election results showed Democrats securing majorities in both chambers of Congress, with at least 218 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate.
