“President Trump knew that Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary was in trouble when he sent Vice President JD Vance to Budapest last week to campaign on his behalf,” the New York Times reports.
“Just days later Hungarians roundly rejected a fifth term for Mr. Orban. Now the scale of his defeat is setting off alarm bells for the American right, because many of Mr. Trump’s supporters have seen Mr. Orban as a kindred spirit and as an incubator of ideas that they embraced.”
“The fear is that Republicans in the U.S., facing flagging poll numbers and an unhappy electorate, could suffer the same fate in 2026 and 2028 by failing to keep right-wing populism popular.”
