Bob Menendez (D-NJ) may yet bequeath an inheritance to his only son: a permanent seat in Congress, courtesy of the money-fueled political machine the senator himself once steered.Nobody The Daily Beast spoke with in Hudson County, which constitutes the core of New Jersey’s Eighth Congressional District and lies directly across the water from Manhattan, denied that the senator installed now-Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) in the House in 2022—and in the very seat the patriarch himself held from 1993 until 2006. This unceremonious anointment involved shoving other prospective candidates aside by securing the support of the county’s Democratic organization, which itself meant locking down endorsements from the 12 mayors who control nearly all politics in the area.One of those mayors was Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, who aspires to unseat the senator’s namesake in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. And he now recounts the endorsement request two years ago as little more than a shakedown.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyBUDAPEST—Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has come to be known as President Putin’s “Trojan horse” inside the European Union. He is the continent’s biggest hater of the U.S. Democratic Party, referring to liberals as his “enemies,” and he was the only European leader who congratulated Putin on his record fifth inauguration this month. The signs are growing that Orbán is following Putin’s path deeper and deeper into an autocracy that could shake up Europe.In Budapest, there is an unmistakable authoritarian atmosphere. As someone who lived in Russia through most of Putin’s reign, the memories evoked include Nashi, the Kremlin’s far-right youth propaganda movement. Billboards across the city show the faces of Orbán’s opponents covered by huge dollar signs and accompanied by slogans that read: “They sold themselves by the thousands.” We saw many similar signs in Moscow starting around 2011 when Putin began a crackdown on the opposition that would entrench him in power and ultimately lead to the disastrous invasion of Ukraine.It’s not just Putin inspiring Orbán. He welcomed President Xi Jinping to Budapest this month and declared China to be one of the “pillars of the new world order.” If China is dreaming of a 21st century dominated by autocrats not democrats, then Orbán wants to get on board. Xi’s appearance in Hungary underlined the growing “strategic partnership” between the nations who announced a host of new economic, diplomatic and business agreements. Putin was in Beijing this month to make a host of similar pronouncements himself.Read more at The Daily Beast.
