Election loss for Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán has ripple effects for Trump, US conservatives

The big election over the weekend was in a small European country nearly half a world away from Washington, but the defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has significant reverberations in the United States.
