Ohio Democrats are looking at Viktor Orbán's defeat in Hungary's April election as a model for defeating Republicans in the upcoming midterms, arguing that overwhelming turnout in Democratic urban strongholds could make a closely fought Senate race.
Undercover footage published by Breitbart News on 9 October shows Zoie Smith, a field organizer with OhioWins, the Ohio Democrats' official coordinated campaign, drawing parallels between Orbán and President Donald Trump. She described the former Hungarian prime minister as a 'dictator and bad person', accusing him of manipulating elections while retaining support among rural voters.
