White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - VP Pool Report # 8 - VP Remarks continue, rally ends.
Vance continued his remarks saying “I admire what you are fighting for.”
Recalling his remarks at the 2025 Munich Security Conference, Vance said the US and Hungary face a “shared threat from within” in the form of far left ideology in universities, among bureaucrats and in the entertainment industry.
The VP accused Brussels of attempting to impose its will on Hungary. “We see sovereignty challenged in Hungary. We see faceless bureaucrats in far away countries, telling you how to live how to pray, how to speak and how to govern,”
Vance spoke at length about the shared civilizational, religious and historic ties between the US and Hungary.
“You have stood up to the bureaucrats. You have stood up to the nihilists, and now I wonder, will you do it again?” Vance said as he neared the end of his speech.
He ended by urging Hungarians to go to the polls to vote for Orban.
Vance’s remarks were met by a standing ovation.
Orban came onto the stage. The PM and the VP shook hands, look out at the crowd and depart together.

Clarification: Orban’s opening remarks at the rally got missed from pool report #7. He spoke for around 25 minutes, before Vance. He said this is a “golden era” for US-Hungarian relations.
He said President Trump had announced an era of “strong nations” and “called all the patriots of the world to arms” by declaring patriotism it a “virtue” not a “sin.”

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - VP Pool Report # 7 - Rally begins, Trump dials in
The rally got underway shortly before 1700 CEST with a performance of the Hungarian and then American national anthems.
VP Vance took to the stage at 1731 to a standing ovation. The crowd is waving small Hungarian flags.
At 1733 he called President Trump from the stage. “I love Hungary and I love that Viktor.” Trump said Orban didn’t allow people to “storm” and “ruin” the country.
“Boy that sounds like a big crowd and my kind of people,” Trump said. The US is “with him [Orban] all the way.”
After the call ended with Trump, Vance said: “We have got to get Viktor Orban re-elected as Prime Minister of Hungary, don’t we.”
Vance’s remarks are ongoing. Otter and more quotes to follow.
