Snippet:
Vice President JD Vance said Monday evening that he was “sad” but not all that surprised that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán lost his bid for reelection, asserting that his decision to campaign alongside the autocrat in Budapest last week was more about showing up for a loyal ally than lifting him to victory.
