Vance defends backing Orbán after Hungary's election landslide
TL;DR
US Vice-President JD Vance defended his two-day trip backing Viktor Orbán, saying the former prime minister is a “great guy” and that the US can work with Hungary’s incoming government after Péter Magyar and his party won a landslide, with Magyar set to become prime minister as Orbán stays on in a caretaker role; the transition raises EU rule-of-law and funding issues and will hinge on Hungary’s handling of media access and ongoing EU negotiations.
