Political editor David Maddox tracks the origins of Orban’s crushing defeat on Sunday to the unforeseen consequences of a papal visit almost exactly three years ago
We need to be sending JD Vance to every country in the world. He visited the Pope, the Pope immediately died of cringe and was replaced by an even woker Pope. Then he visits Hungary and topples an authoritarian strongman who’d been holding onto power for 16 years. Can he campaign for Putin next?
Mark Carney’s Liberals have won Canada’s federal election - riding a backlash of anti-Trump sentiment to form the next government.
It is a stunning political turnaround for a party who were widely considered dead and buried just a few months ago.
Trump’s threats became the defining issue
There is no doubt the US president’s tariff threats and comments undermining Canada’s sovereignty played an outsized role in this election, suddenly making leadership and the country’s economic survival the defining issues of the campaign.

Can he meet with Netanyahu?

Didn’t they do that already in some states’ special elections?
This is why I think maga will collapse with just JD and no orange

JD Vance handshake of death 🤣
I will say Thank You after a Vance-Vovka meeting results in an autodefenestration.
It’s only cringe if it’s from the cringé region of france, otherwise, it’s just sparkling shame.
Can he visit Putin next?
