Also lmao at Vance and also IIRC Trump going to bat so hard for Orban to seemingly no effect. Probably a slight negative if anything, get fucked.
Am I going senile or is this overt campaigning for candidates in foreign elections involving ostensible allies, something the US hasn’t tended to do in the semi-recent past? And us Euros or ANZACs tend to not do at the state level, much as the temptation is there

Straight up campaining for a candidate in a different country was always a big diplomatic no-no, but to me the weird part is that they thought it would help. The average person outside the US has no idea who the fuck Vance is, and Trump is the guy that just increased their fuel cost by 20% for giggles.
