US vice president JD Vance has flown to Budapest to offer his support for Hungarian president Victor Orbán.
The veteran prime minister is a key European ally of the Trump administration, as well as being Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest partner in the EU.
Orbán's main rival Péter Magyar is well ahead in most opinion polls.
Catherine Belton, a journalist for The Washington Post, described the Hungarian president as an “important symbol and model” for the Maga movement and the Kremlin.
