Trump and Orbán have maintained a close relationship, largely due to shared nationalist and anti-immigration policies.

However, recent polling suggests Orbán could face defeat in Hungary’s elections scheduled for April 12.

Scarborough claimed that senior figures, including Putin and other officials, are working to support Orbán’s political standing, warning that his potential loss could have broader implications for Western alliances.
