Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as he approaches a critical election. Orbán, known for his right-wing policies, is currently facing strong competition from the opposition Tisza Party, led by young conservative Peter Magyar, which is leading in recent opinion polls.
This election is considered one of Orbán’s most challenging to date, with voters closely divided. Trump’s endorsement aligns with his previous support for conservative candidates internationally.
**Why this matters**
Orbán’s election outcome will have significant implications for Hungary’s political direction and its relationship with the European Union. Trump’s endorsement highlights ongoing international connections among right-wing leaders and may influence voter perceptions ahead of the vote.
