The best friend of any country’s left is Elon Musk.
Takeaways:
1. Likely outcome: Conservatives (CDU) take back the chancellorship. They'll need a partner for a majority; likely a 'grand coalition' with the SPD.
2. AfD at highest level. But also underperforming polls + down from when Vance + Musk intervened.
3. Die Linke surged in final weeks.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute.
Make sure he knows they're waiting to hear from him, too.
