JD Vance Hits the Campaign Trail—in Budapest, Hungary
Jillian Melcher, a London-based WSJ editorial board member covering European affairs, and Joe Sternberg, a London-based WSJ columnist on European politics, discuss J.D. Vance campaigning in Budapest and his ties to Viktor Orbán. They explore Hungary's fragile polls, Orban's EU posturing, family subsidies, his hold on an EU loan to Ukraine, and why U.S. interventions abroad can backfire.
