The election was being closely watched around the world as a test of the resilience of the #Maga movement and the global far right, many of whom have long looked to Orbán as an inspiration and sought to follow his playbook. Days before the election, #JDVance had travelled to #Budapest, with the US vice-president saying that he had come to “help” Orbán. Donald #Trump had also repeatedly endorsed Orbán, most recently on Friday when he vowed to bring #US “economic might” to the country if Orbán was re-elected.
