The style of the UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson is frequently compared with that of US President Donald Trump.
And now that Johnson has won a resounding victory in the UK’s general election – US politicians are paying close attention to what happened.
And it is the Democrats who are mostly concerned.
Presidential candidate Joe Biden blames the left-wing platform of Johnson’s main opponent, Jeremy Corbyn, for Labour’s defeat.
And he’s warning his party against moving too far to the left ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
He and others argue Britain’s elections result should serve as a wake up call for their party. But is this really true?
