JD Vance’s Hungary Trip Deserves Bipartisan Rebukes

“All foreign nations should avoid opining on or interfering in American domestic politics,” US House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote in 2024. Voters in both parties dislike foreign meddling in their internal affairs, and Johnson and his White House allies ought to realize that people of other nations feel the same way.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Vice President JD Vance is visiting Budapest this week in what can only be described as a campaign swing to help Hungary’s embattled prime minister, Viktor Orban. Vance will meet with Orban in a bid to boost him and his party in elections on April 12.
