Germans will vote in a federal election on Sunday, with four candidates competing for chancellor: Olaf Scholz (SPD), Friedrich Merz (CDU), Robert Hack (Greens), and Alice Weidel (AfD). Polls indicate CDU is leading with 30% support, followed by AfD at 20%, while SPD and Greens trail behind. The election is influenced by US politics, particularly under President Donald Trump, whose policies have caused concern in Europe. Key issues include security, trade relations, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with candidates expressing differing views on support for Ukraine and relations with the US.
