Voting rights lawyer, Marc Elias, warned that Vice President JD Vance’s planned trip to Hungary reveals the Trump administration’s authoritarian intentions ahead of midterm elections.
Vance will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and discuss the U.S. and Hungary “partnership” just before Hungary’s elections through April 7-8, as reported by Fox News.
Elias explained Vance’s appearance constitutes “campaigning” for Orban, whom the administration views as a governing model. “If that doesn’t tell you what their mindset is, they don’t want there to be free and fair elections.”
The warning coincides with President Donald Trump signing an executive order eliminating mail-in voting and directing the Postal Service to create voter lists. Elias characterized these actions as expressions of broader anti-democratic trends, warning the situation will “progress more and more,” urging citizens to remain informed about election interference threats.
