BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 25: German Chancellor and member of the German Social Democrats (SPD) Olaf Scholz speaks next to a television monitor showing an election campaign placard featuring Scholz following Scholz's official confirmation by the SPD leadership that he will be the party's candidate for chancellor in snap elections scheduled for February on November 25, 2024 in Berlin, Germany. The confirmation is controversial, as Scholz is fairing poorly in national polls, in stark contrast to Defense Minister and SPD member Boris Pistorius, who enjoys very high popularity. Pistorius recently announced that he would not seek the candidacy. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
