Morning Briefing Plus: Netflix and chill? That would be nice
In Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD is on the verge of a breakthrough. Germany is defending itself against Russian aggression - while Trump is seeking a connection to Moscow. It is likely that the situation will remain unstable in terms of foreign and domestic policy.
Germany's political landscape has shifted since September 6. In Saxony-Anhalt, Alternative for Germany (AfD) top candidate Ulrich Siegmund is drawing large crowds, while incumbent Sven Schulze of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) trails behind with roughly half the voter support. A similar trend is seen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where AfD candidate Leif-Erik Holm has around 30% support ahead of the September 20 election.
CDU leader Friedrich Merz has made limited appearances in Saxony-Anhalt in support of Schulze, and faced jeers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
