Euronews: Democrats win US Senate, Poland's constitutional crisis and Ukraine talks
Euronews's morning programme on 4 November covered the US midterm results, in which Democrats won the Senate, Poland's judicial crisis and this week's talks on ending the war in Ukraine.
The European news channel Euronews devoted its morning programme "Europe Today" on 4 November 2026 to the results of the US midterm elections to Congress. The programme's headline says Democrats won the Senate, presenting it as a rebuke of President Donald Trump. The show also covered Poland's constitutional crisis and this week's talks on ending the war in Ukraine.
What the guests addressed
Boyd Wagner, an elections expert and former Euronews head of polling, reported from Philadelphia after a night spent following the results. Penny Naas, Senior Vice President and Brussels Office Director of the German Marshall Fund, a think tank focused on US-European relations, discussed whether the outcome marks the end of Trumpism and what it means for 2028.
Vera Jourová, a former EU Justice Commissioner, assessed Poland's constitutional crisis. She considered whether judicial independence can be restored without another confrontation.
Ukraine talks and EU enlargement
Euronews NATO correspondent Shona Murray previewed this week's talks on ending the war in Ukraine. They involve US envoy Steve Witkoff, EU countries, the World Bank and NATO. Angela Skujins, meanwhile, summarised the highlights of the previous day's Euronews Enlargement Summit and set out what to expect from this week's European Commission report.
