Norwegian Social Democrats Win Election. Populists Achieve Biggest Leap

DEREK VANBUSKIRK September 09, 202511:56 AM ET

Norway’s Labor Party narrowly held onto power Monday, but the close call underscored major gains by the populist right.

Labor secured a second term by stitching together a bloc of center-left allies with 87 seats,just five more than the 82 captured by the right, according to Norwegian outlet VG.Though it fell short, the right added more than a dozen seats since 2021, when it was ousted from government with 68 after eight years in power.

The result gives Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre a second term after first winning in 2021. Labor, known as Arbeiderpartiet, is the largest party in the left bloc, while the right is anchored by the populist Progress Party, or Fremskrittspartiet.

“It is possible for the Social Democrats to win elections even when right-wing forces are on the rise in Europe,” Støre said, according to VG.

Johannes Bergh, a national election expert at Norway’s Institute for Social Research, told The Guardianthat cost of living, taxes and healthcare remain the dominant issues in the country’s high-turnout elections.

He said the right carried momentum, but Labor benefited from the appointment of popular finance minister Jens Stoltenberg andStøre’s trade deal with President Donald Trump.

“There seems to be twoduelling trendsin Norwegian politics.One is a rightwing wave, especially around the young, and support for the sitting government,” Bergh said.

With 99% of ballots counted, VG reported Labor’s support rising 1.9%, while the Progress Party surged 12.3%.The Progress Party now holds 22.9% of the vote, its strongest showing ever, positioning it as the main opposition to Labor.

The Centre Party suffered the steepest drop, losing 7.9% nationwide, a decline analysts said likely fueled the Progress Party’s gains, according to the outlet. The Conservative Party, the second-largest on the right, lost 5.7% of support, pointing to voters shifting within the bloc.

Progress Party leader Sylvi Listhaug and Conservative leader Erna Solberg both called Støre before midnight Monday to concede and offer congratulations.

Leena Nasir Entertainment Reporter September 09, 20256:22 PM ET

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis saidhe has been moved to a separate home amid his battle with dementiain part so she can “prepare” their children for his death.

Emma, 47, made the shocking revelation in her new book “The Unexpected Journey,” slated for release Sept. 9, according to the New York Post. Shedescribed the famous actor’s ongoing struggle with frontotemporal dementia and the harsh impactthe situation has had on their young children.

“Giving and allowing the girls some space from Bruce also helps prepare them for his death,” Emma wrote, according to the Post.

“I know how dark and jarring that sounds,” Emma wrote, “but that is the harsh reality of the world I must navigate to continue to protect our girls the best way I can.”

Emma has been caring for Willis since the familyconfirmed his diagnosis in February 2023, but admitted he needs more care than she could provide.

Acting as his primary caregiver has forced Emma to make tough decisions for Willis’ future, including a move to a different residence so the entire family can adjust to the changes in his health. She first said she and her family had decided to have him live separately with professional help in an ABC interview back in August.

Emma admitted there is no “specific timeline” that outlines Willis’ condition, but statedthe “average life expectancy” for someone suffering from frontotemporal dementia is “seven to 13 yearsafter the start of symptoms,” according to the Post.

“This disease of FTD is horrendous, but it gives you a little grace to be able to plan and organize your affairs,” she wrote in her book.

“I think getting used to it being just the three of us in our home will lessen the shock for Mabel and Evelyn when the inevitable comes.”

“Until there is a cure, this disease will always win,” she said.

Charlie Kirk was answering a question about rampant left-wing violence in America when he was shot today.

You can hear the crack of a rifle in this video from approximately 100 yards.

I am burning with righteous anger.

Pray right now for Charlie and his family.
