Viktor Orbán does not seem particularly pleased with the fact that Hungarians are turning out to vote today in the highest numbers since the fall of communism.

Big things are happening in Hungary right now. This is shaping up to be a historic day. Voter turnout is absolutely surging. Nationwide, turnout has already crossed 66% with hours still left to vote—far ahead of where things stood at the same point in previous elections. But what’s really turning heads is Budapest. In Hungary’s capital, and the heart of opposition support, turnout has already hit a staggering 70%… with a few hours still to go. If this pace holds, the country could smash past 80% turnout by the end of the day. For context: total turnout in Hungary’s last two elections barely cracked 70% by the time polls closed. This level of participation is sending a very clear signal. After 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s rule, voters are showing up in massive numbers. Especially in opposition strongholds. Orbán has long been one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies in the European Union and a central figure in the rise of far-right, anti-democratic movements across Europe. JD Vance was just in Budapest promoting his reelection. A political shift in Hungary could ripple across the entire continent—and the world.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
