"JD Vance's visit to Budapest is expected to be seen as somewhat unprecedented involvement in a foreign electoral campaign, highlighting the importance of Orban for the MAGA worldview."
"Orban is a rare Russian ally in Europe, blocking the EU's support for Ukraine and escalating tensions with Kyiv over energy supplies."
"Despite Vance's support, there are doubts whether it will significantly help Orban, who continues to trail the opposition by 10 percentage points."
