winning," she says. but why the sudden wins? a post-pandemic economy and runaway mass immigration to start, says political expert natalie tocci. >> there's definitely a backlash in immigration, which tends to become a backlash when the economy starts suffering and in general, the sort of economic fallout of russia's invasion of ukraine now, of course, we have war in the middle east. you know, the general climate of uncertainty has really put a sort of downer on economic recovery post-pandemic. >> reporter: all of it leading to a surge for the hard right and fears among its opponents, like at this rally in the netherlands. >> i don't want to normalize racism, divisiveness, and i think it's important to remind everyone that these norms can easily shift. >> reporter: but perhaps the biggest boost to europe's hard right would be a second rise to the presidency for donald trump. that, analysts say, would reshape politics not just in the
