Dass Donald Trump die Vorwahl in Iowa gewonnen hat, sei keine Überraschung, so Sudha David-Wilp vom German Marshall Fund. Allerdings sei der Vorsprung ziemlich groß. Werde er Präsident, müsse Europa die Unterstützung der Ukraine alleine schultern. David-Wilp, Sudhawww.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

Although a record turnout is expected on Nov. 8th, opinion surveys show many Americans no longer trust U.S. elections nor their government. Many Republican voters still embrace the “Big Lie” that President Trump had the 2020 election stolen from him. So what does the growing mistrust, President Joe Biden's low ratings and the worst inflation in four decades mean for the midterm elections and American democracy in general? In this episode of Transatlantic Takeaway by Common Ground Berlin and the German Marshall Fund of the United States, host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson explores the controversial elections with: Sudha David-Wilp, GMF's Senior Transatlantic Fellow and deputy director of the Berlin office. Jeremy Shapiro, research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations and a former advisor to the State Department during the Obama administration. Anna Sauerbrey, foreign editor of the weekly Die Zeit and a contributor to the New York Times op-ed section. Produced by Dina Elsayed.
German polls suggest that if elections were held today, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) would garner more votes than most of the country's mainstream parties, including those in the governing coalition. That has some politicians rethinking their “firewall” against the populist faction and whether it makes sense to partner with the AfD on local issues. Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson talks to Politico Europe Senior Politics Reporter in Germany Hans von der Burchard, the German Marshall Fund's Sudha David-Wilp, and others about the reasons and implications of a resurgent AfD.Also featuring students from the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.

Joe Biden ist als Versöhner angetreten. Nach Donald Trump wollte er die Spaltung des Landes überwinden. Ohne Erfolg. Stattdessen gehen jede Menge innen- und außenpolitische Pannen auf sein Konto, vom Abzug aus Afghanistan bis hin zum gescheiterten Sozialpaket. Bidens Beliebtheitswerte sind im Sinkflug. Hat er die Sache falsch angepackt? Wo stehen die USA heute? Und wie sehen die Perspektiven aus?

Across most of Europe, Green parties are middling political forces, periodic junior partners in coalitions or the occasion to cast a protest vote for disgruntled left-wingers. And yet in prosperous Germany, Annalena Baerbock could well be Angela Merkel's successor at the chancellorship. Formed at the dawn of the environmental and anti-nuclear geist of the 70s, the party was in principle opposed to capitalism, NATO and the very idea of having armed forces (Bundeswehr). Fast forward to today and the the Greens have become mainstream and established. In ten of the sixteen länders, they are junior coalition partners with the far-left, the S&D, the liberals or the Christian democrats. They even lead the regional government of the traditionally right-wing state of Baden-Württemberg, a proof that the once fringe party has the chops to seduce conservative voters. With the upcoming federal race in September, a return to the federal executive seems likely, perhaps even as a senior coalition partner. What's behind the Greens' surge, and what could it mean for the broader European landscape? Back with us to answer is Green MEP Reinhard Bütikofer and Sudha David-Wilp, deputy director of the German Marshall Fund's Berlin Office.

First up: Germany’s Chief Economist and Director General for Economic and Fiscal Policy Strategy Jakob von Weizsäcker. Followed by two key legislators: Sergey Lagodinsky, Member of the European Parliament for Alliance 90/The Greens; and Jürgen Hardt, Foreign Policy Spokesperson of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group.

David Deißner, Geschäftsführer der Atlantik-Brücke, und Tyson Barker, Deputy Director und Fellow beim Aspen Institute Germany, sprechen mit Astrid Dörner, New York-Korrespondentin beim Handelsblatt, und Sudha David-Wilp, Deputy Director Berlin Office und Senior Transatlantic Fellow beim German Marshall Fund, über den Einfluss des Corona-Virus auf den US-Wahlkampf, über das Krisenmanagement des Präsidenten und die zu erwartenden wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Pandemie. Um die demokratischen Vorwahlen, die noch vor Kurzem die Schlagzeilen beherrschten, ist es still geworden. Derzeit dreht sich alles um die Bewältigung der Corona-Krise. Im Podcast geht es um den Trump’schen Umgang mit der Situation und darum, ob seine Chancen auf Wiederwahl nun steigen. Außerdem werden die Auswirkungen des Shut down auf die Wirtschaft und das Leben der Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner besprochen und die Frage, welche Rolle der aussichtsreichste demokratische Präsidentschaftskandidat Joe Biden derzeit spielt.

Germany’s center-left Social Democrats (SPD) recently elected two new leaders, Norbert Walter-Borjans and Saskia Esken. Both are strongly critical of the already-shaky “grand coalition” with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative CDU and this surprising election result has thrown the future of German politics into question—again. At the same time, the Greens and the far-right AfD are growing in popularity and vying for power. Is the German political system going through a “slow-burning revolution?" This week on Out of Order, two of GMF’s resident explainers of German politics, Jan Techau and Sudha David-Wilp, dissect the latest drama out of Europe’s largest economy-- why it’s just starting to get interesting at home and how it will affect Germany’s role in Europe and the world.
The Angela Merkel era is ending. The weekend of December 7-8 in Hamburg the curtains draw half closed and we will see who officially waits in the wings to take over. Currently, there are three candidates are vying for that position. Angela Merkel became chairwoman of the Christian Democratic party in 2000 and Chancellor five years later. In what many see as the first step of a tactical retreat, Angela Merkel announced in late October that she would not seek reelection to head her party, though she will remain in her spot at the head the government until the next elections in 2021 – or at least presumably. Because of course as soon as someone else takes over leadership of her party, Germany will have a new heir (or heiress) apparent. The cast of characters is interesting: The ambitious Jens Spahn, currently serving as health minister in the government; the woman generally viewed as Merkel’s anointed heir and perhaps a kind of Merkel 2.0, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and finally Friedrich Merz, an old arch rival of Merkel’s, who abandoned politics for finance after he was elbowed out by her in 2002. Jan Techau and Sudha David-Wilp join Rachel Tausendfreund to discuss the three candidates, their chances, and what any of these candidates might mean for Europe and Germany’s leadership globally. Think and Tank links: Jan Techau tanks the German debate on the Global Compact Sudha David-Wilp talks about the Visegrad Insight publication "Central European Futures" Rachel Tausendfreund recommends the Guardian long read “How colonial violence came home: the ugly truth of the first world war”
Panelists discuss future of US political parties, implications for transatlantic relations and what’s in store for 2020. A "blue wave" has now met a "red wall" – this is how Nelson Cunningham, former advisor to President Bill Clinton and co-founder of political consultancy McLarty Associates, described the election results to an audience of 130 at a 2018 US election post-mortem at the Hertie School on 7 November. Cunningham, alongside Sudha David-Wilp, Senior Transatlantic Fellow and Deputy Director of the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund; Peter Beyer, member of the German Bundestag and Coordinator of Transatlantic Cooperation at the Federal Foreign Office; Mark Hallerberg, Dean of Research and Faculty and Professor of Public Management and Political Economy at the Hertie School; and Andrea Römmele, Dean of Executive Education and Professor for Communication in Politics and Civil Society, discussed the outcome of the election in a panel moderated by Anna Sauerbrey, journalist at Der Tagesspiegel. Cunningham said he could see President Donald Trump reaching out to the Democrats, who now control the House of Representatives, for deals on infrastructure legislation, middle class tax cuts or international trade. But for transatlantic relations, Peter Beyer said he thinks dialogue with the US will become even more difficult, even though there is no alternative partner in the world for Europe – culturally, economically and in terms of security. Sudha David-Wilp says she’s optimistic about US politics over the next two years in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, especially as women, minorities and other Americans have shown their interest in political engagement. Listen to the full discussion on our podcast. More on the event and panelists:
No one has ever caught more balls in Major League Baseball than Zack Hample and what's more amazing is, he's never been on the field of play. Zack Hample is a ball hawk : a spectator who attends games to catch as many as possible and he's as famous as he is infamous. World Cup 2018: Germany's Political Football Germany play Sweden on Saturday and there seems to be a link between the team's issues and the political tensions bubbling away back home. Sudha David-Wilp is a fellow at the German Marshall Fund in Berlin and has studied the the similarities between the fortunes of the German national team and the German Chancellor Angela Merkle FIFA First Host nation Russia didn't come into the World Cup with many expectations of doing well. But with two wins and eight goals in their opening matches they were the first nation to qualify for the knock-out stages. And despite worries over Hooliganism and discrimination, an estimated one million visiting fans have received a warm welcome. That's no surprise to Victoria Lopyreva who has spent the last three years travelling the world as a FIFA ambassador; she was the first woman to be appointed to the role and first to host a football show on Russian television. Still Partying? the World Cup's party atmosphere continues in Russia. It's a stark contrast to the pre-tournament talk from campaign groups like FARE, Football against Racim in Europe, who warned of the potential risk of violence and discrimination towards minority groups. 10 days in Piara Power, the groups executive director tells us what he makes of how things have gone in Russia so far Royal Ascot: With the excitement of the World Cup it's easy to forget there's other sport this weekend! Including the final day of Royal Ascot; one of the highlights of the racing calendar. We hear how Her Majesty the Queen has been invited to enter a horse in the prestigious Melbourne Cup by the chairman of the Victoria Racing Club, Amanda Elliot; She's the first woman to hold the position, and the highest profile woman in the administration of the sport.
