I'm Danielle Kurtzleben.
I cover the White House.
And NPR's Rob Schmitz is with us.
So today on the show, Vice President J.D.
Vance is just back from a campaign rally to drum up support ahead of upcoming elections.
Except the elections are not in the United States.
He was in Hungary attending events to support the country's prime minister, Viktor Orban, as he seeks reelection this month.
Rob, I want to start with you because you're in Budapest right now.
Tell us about Orban.
Let's talk a little bit more about that corruption you mentioned, Rob.
What does that look like?
And yet he's been in office for a very long time.
So he, as we said, faces re-election.
And it isn't a slam dunk this time.
There seems to be a real threat that he could lose.
And given all of this, it is both amazing and not amazing at all that Vice President J.D.
Vance attended a rally for Viktor Orban.
What did he say in support of the prime minister?
Right, right.
