The fate of EU President Ursula von der Leyen

Will she (age 65) finally fade away from politics after the landslide outcome of the EU elections? It appears her reelection for a second term has become more uncertain.

Her political career in Germany (e.g. defense minister) was not exactly great! That was perhaps one of the reasons she was sent off to the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium! Two other reasons, she speaks fluently French and she was born in Belgium. She was essentially a lifelong career politician as far as her professional career is concerned.

She is one of the last major remnants of the horrible socialist former German Chancellor Angela Merkel's inner circle.
