Vice President Vance is set to participate in Europe's most volatile election in years, with Hungary's Viktor Orbán, a key figure in President Trump's vision for Europe and a key ally of the US. Orbán has been leading Hungary since 2010 and has served as a model for Christian nationalist rule now embraced by the American right. His challenger, Péter Magyar, has been the main threat to Orbán's rule due to corruption and a struggling economy. The U.S. and Russia are both intervening in the campaign to keep Orbán in power, while the EU and Ukraine are eager to see him gone. A victory in Hungary would unlock billions in frozen EU funds and remove the disruptive member of the bloc. The final week of Hungary's campaign has seen an all-out intelligence war.
