Orbán Loses by a Landslide Despite Vance Flying to Budapest to Save Him
Viktor Orbán — Trump and Vance's model for illiberal governance — lost a landslide to Péter Magyar's Tisza Party: 138 seats to 55, a two-thirds supermajority. Vance personally flew to Budapest days before the election to boost him. Trump dangled economic support. Record turnout since the end of Communism. Orbán is out after 16 years.
