According to the plan, Orbán should become a joint candidate of the US, Russia, and China. Russia and China support this idea. According to a US State Department representative, Orbán can secure the necessary votes in the Security Council.

According to Imedinews, a US representative called Orbán a "dream candidate for MAGA conservatives," which is linked to his actions against migration and liberal organizations. According to 1tv, Orbán is interested in taking the post, although there is doubt about whether he will be able to secure the necessary votes.
