U.S. Democrats celebrated the defeat of ​Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Sunday, while Donald Trump’s allies and Republican peers ‌offered a more mixed response to the loss of the leader that Trump had endorsed.

Trump had backed Orban leading up to the vote, even speaking briefly last week at a campaign rally in Hungary, when U.S. Vice President JD Vance telephoned ​his boss upon taking the stage.

But Orban lost power after 16 years as Hungarians voted ​in record numbers for a pro-EU course spearheaded by center-right rival Peter Magyar.
