Official election results in Hungary show Péter Magyar and his opposition Tisza party won Sunday's parliamentary election in a landslide, with more than the two-thirds majority needed to amend Hungary's constitution. Hungary's far-right Viktor Orbán has been prime minister of the country since 2010, making him the European Union's longest-serving leader. His campaign was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Trump administration.
Tens of thousands gathered in Budapest on Sunday to celebrate the victory over Orbán. "Everybody was partying on the streets. Strangers were hugging each other. Music, drinks, cars honking. So, basically, it was like a street carnival for the entire night," says Hungarian journalist and analyst Szilárd Pap, who also explains the rise of Péter Magyar and Hungary's new opposition party.

"Before he came on, I was like ‘He ain't got a chance! He's coming on here? He's gotta be down bad,'" Schulz said in a newly posted recap of the interview's aftermath. Trump's appearance on Schulz's Flagrant podcast brought in 3 million YouTube views in under 48 hours.
But since the interview was uploaded online, Schulz said he's gotten a peak into just how many people still support the divisive ex-president. "It was the looks on the street," Schulz said on the podcast. "It was like, you know when someone who's trying to sell you drugs, they give you this nod," he explained, implying that supporters of Trump's were silently expressing their approval of the sit-down. "That's all I've been getting for the last week."
