The defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has significant reverberations in the United States, as President Donald Trump and many U.S. conservatives have long supported Orbán, who has been an icon among the global right for his anti-immigrant stance. The loss was seen as a reminder of how the Iran war has diminished Trump's ability to aid allies overseas and limited leaders' ability to use their power to tilt voting in their direction. The defeat of Orbán was celebrated by both Democrats and Republicans, some of whom criticized their administration for supporting him. The European Union has declared Hungary an autocracy, with concerns that the loss will lead to further abuses of democracy.
