Hungary’s longtime leader Viktor Orbán lost the country’s closely-watched parliamentary elections on Sunday, dealing a stinging blow to a staunch ally of President Donald Trump despite overt support from top U.S. officials leading up to the vote.
Orbán conceded to Péter Magyar, a former member of Orbán’s far-right, populist Fidesz party.
Magyar, Orbán’s main political adversary and leader of Tisza, a conservative but pro-European alternative to Fidesz, had pulled ahead in polls despite strong backing for Orbán from Trump and far-right leaders across the globe. Betting platforms had deemed an Orbán victory unlikely.
Vice President JD Vance vowed to “help” Orbán win during a visit to Budapest this week, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in his own visit to the Hungarian capital in February, proclaimed to Orbán: “Trump is deeply committed to your success.”
