Why JD Vance is helping right wing populist Viktor Orbán’s failing election campaign in Hungary

Image
  US vice president   JD Vance   is in Budapest in a last minute attempt to boost the campaign of Hungarian prime minister   Viktor Orbán , a key European ally of the Trump administration, ahead of Sunday’s   parliamentary elections. Orbán’s Fidesz political party is lagging in  the polls , with the opposition Tisza party – led by Péter Magyar, a former Fidesz insider – well ahead at 58% to Orbán’s 35%. The populist right wing leader will be battling to extend his 16-year grip on power, during which he has turned the central European country into what he calls an “illiberal democracy”. Vance is a longtime supporter of Orbán and will be trying to drum up support, particularly from undecided voters, with a joint press conference in the capital, followed by a flag-waving rally at a 24,000-seat football stadium. open image in gallery JD Vance travelled to Budapest to back veteran Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán ahead of parliamentary elections on Sunday ...

MAGA influencers push back on Trump on Iran: 'It's time to say no'

Image
  At the 1988 Republican National Convention in New Orleans, George H.W. Bush swore an oath to his party: " Read my lips: No new taxes. " He won the election. Then, he raised taxes. The move alienated Republican activists, and  GOP lore  has long held that he lost re-election because the broken promise tattered his relationship with the party's base. Now, President Donald Trump is threatening to  destroy Iranian civilization  after campaigning in part on a " no new wars " mantra in 2024. He has said the war is necessary to stop Iran's leadership  from obtaining nuclear weapons  and further destabilizing the global order. His reversal is creating major strains within his own "Make America Great Again" movement, evident in increasingly loud dissent from some of its most prominent media figures, resistance from a growing number of GOP lawmakers and polling.
