Vance's Surprise Visit Shakes Up Hungary's Election Race
As the US VP enters Hungary's heated campaign, Orbán faces a real threat of defeat in the upcoming elections.
In a surprise move, the arrival of US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha in Budapest has shaken up Hungary's heated election race, just days before the country heads to the polls. The Hungarian government had initially hailed the two-day visit as a new era in Washington-Budapest relations, but the reality on the ground has been far more turbulent.
With Viktor Orbán facing the real possibility of defeat, Vance's direct involvement in the campaign has added an unexpected twist to the proceedings. Orbán, who has ruled Hungary with an iron fist for over a decade, is now grappling with the challenge of fending off a determined opposition that has galvanized public support, particularly among the country's young voters.
