Voters in Hungary go to the polls tomorrow, with a high-profile American endorsement looming over the campaign.
Donald Trump has made no secret of his support for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, posting on social media urging Hungarians to vote for him, while Vice President JD Vance spent two days in Budapest this week effectively campaigning on his behalf.It is part of a broader pattern: Trump has openly backed candidates in elections across Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe, breaking with a long-standing US tradition of staying out of other countries’ politics.
