The article reports that Vice President JD Vance campaigned for Viktor Orbán before Orbán lost Hungary’s election, prompting Democrats to criticize Vance and some Republican senators to avoid discussing the race. Senator Chris Murphy said the episode “seems to have backfired” and might affect whether Republican candidates want Vance campaigning for them.
