Far-right AfD party co-leader Alice Weidel will be the party’s coming chancellor candidate for the upcoming federal elections, according to German media reports. When we asked her in June about her ambitions, she denied having plans to run.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
