What just happened in Hungary and what does it mean for us?
Amanda's Mild Takes
I talked to Tom Carothers of the Carnegie Institute’s Democracy, Conflict, and Governance program — who also happens to live part-time in Hungary, and has been there for the last two months watching this election unfold. I asked him:

Who is Orban, where did he come from, and how did he amass so much power?

Who’s the new guy??

How did Hungary pull this off?

What are the implications for pro-democracy forces in Europe?

Implications for Ukraine specifically?

What was the fallout of the JD Vance visit?

What can Americans take from this?
