#SCOTUS kills #VotingRights
The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics.

Yet on Tuesday, #Vance seemed to contradict #US efforts to push its allies to break with #Russia #energy, excoriating other #EU countries for moving to cease their imports of Russian #FossilFuels in response to the #war.
“It is funny to watch prime ministers & leaders in some of the Western European capitals talk about the #EnergyCrisis when frankly they should have been following the policies of Viktor #Orbán,” he said.

#Hungary, which has broken with most #EU countries by refusing to assist #Ukraine with financial assistance or weapons to ward off #Russia’s full-scale invasion, has remained firmly committed to purchasing Russian energy despite EU efforts to wean off such supplies.
In November, Hungary received an exemption from #US #sanctions on #Russia #oil & #gas after a White House meeting between #Orbán & #Trump.

#Trump has repeatedly endorsed #Orbán’s candidacy for reelection, & many in the #MAGA movement approve of the Hungarian leader’s opposition to #immigration, curtailing of #LGBTQ+ rights, & capture of the #media & #academia.
But with most independent polls showing a double-digit deficit for #Fidesz among decided voters ahead of the April 12 vote, Orbán has sought to boost his profile by appearing publicly with his international admirers.

Despite his clear endorsement of #Orbán, #Vance lashed out at the #EU for what he said was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.”
Long accused by critics of taking over #Hungary’s institutions, clamping down on #press #freedom & overseeing entrenched political #corruption — charges he denies — Orbán has become an icon in the global #FarRight movement.

#JDVance says he's 'here to help' #Orbán #election campaign during #Hungary visit
Vance’s 2-day visit to Budapest is a bid to turn the tide in Orbán’s election campaign where the long-serving leader, a close #Trump ally, is trailing in the polls.

“So it’s clear that the major source of affinity between #MAGA, #Fidesz and #Putinism is something more raw and atavistic: a shared commitment to #racism, #ethnonationalism, and social #illiberalism.”
