"No."

"JD Vance will be the next president after Trump."

"Yes."

"JD Vance is going to win by a landslide in 2028."

"JD Vance will be America's next President."

"We're getting four more years of Trump, and then eight years of JD Vance!"

Will JD Vance Be the Next US President?

U.S. Vice President JD Vance traveled to Budapest on April 7, 2026, for a two-day visit ahead of Hungary's April 12 parliamentary elections, where he held bilateral meetings with Prime Minister Viktor Orban and attended a Fidesz campaign rally.

Most independent polls showed Orban's Fidesz party trailing the center-right Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, by double digits among decided voters. One late March survey found Tisza with 56% support compared to 37% for Fidesz.

Vance's visit followed a February trip to Budapest by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who told Orban: "President Trump is deeply committed to your success, because your success is our success."

Magyar, 45, is a former Fidesz official who left the party in 2024. His campaign has centered on allegations of corruption, deteriorating social services and Orban's strained relationship with the European Union.

Trump endorsed Orban on Truth Social, writing: "Hungary: GET OUT AND VOTE FOR VIKTOR ORBÁN. He is a true friend, fighter, and WINNER." Analysts noted that U.S. support for Orban also coincided with reported Russian efforts to influence the election.

Analysts were divided on whether Vance's visit would affect the outcome. Princeton professor Kim Lane Scheppele said "one visit by a relatively low-profile American vice president is not going to change" an 8 to 20 point opposition lead.
