7:02 am
a public service shredded aspire and campaign and everyone got to see something that i learned early on to respect so much her character. she's a backbone, like a ramrod she is great character, true character. she gave her whole heart effort and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign. they ran off more or less, less talked to james of adams. he's a professor of political science at the university of california davis. his focus is election strategy and political polarization. thanks for being with us. james. we heard present, joe biden speaking there. what responsibility does biden there for his parties? lots well, president biden is relatively unpopular and that certainly for calmer harris, who as his vice president is of course closely tied to him. the other factor i would name that was very difficult for vice president harris to overcome was the fact that joe biden dropped out of the race so late that put vice president by in
7:03 am
extremely difficult position. having to try to introduce yourself to be mirror people and outlined a policy agenda in barely over a 100 days. in my opinion, that was a nearly crippling disadvantage that calmly. harris faced and one of the reasons that she lost yet the poles, the head of the election suggested that it would, that it would be very close. and couple of harris did, ended up doing far worse against donald trump than the pulse of just she would as someone who studies elections did her law surprise you the fact that com or harris last did not surprise me. the poll suggested that the election was on a knife edge. what was surprising was that the election was relatively decisive, comma la harris, lost all 7 of the so called swing states were expected to decide the election. and it appears that she will be the 1st democratic presidential candidate in 20 years
7:04 am
to lose the popular vote. a load incidentally, but this is the 3rd consecutive election in which donald trump has outperformed his polling numbers. he out perform them dramatically in 2016, waiting to an extremely surprising victory. he out performed the modestly in 2020 and again in 2024. the out performance in 2024. it was modest, but it was enough to turn what looked to be an extraordinarily close race into a relatively clear victory. trump's campaign because it, it seemed to times chaotic. can we talk about donald trump really having a winning strategy as such? yes, donald trump's, a campaign did appear chaotic, but then a great deal of what donald trump does appears chaotic during my entire life time. donald trump is the most difficult politician i've ever seen to actually diagnose
7:05 am
because he's done a 1000 things that would destroy the election prospects of a typical campaigner. that raises the question, why is he able to do things that many others can? i would mention here that some of those appeal as a populist p o online with your own countries, alternative for germany, the national rally and france and so on. one of the part of my diagnosis is that there are so many people in the united states who feel that the political system, and indeed the system more generally of education, science, a legal system and so forth, is fundamentally wrong for, and by those who are powerful and well, off and well connected. donald trump made that point very, very powerfully. she encapsulated it in the statement that the system is wrecked. there are a large number of americans who believe that and they also believe that donald
7:06 am
trump is the only major politician who is courageous enough to say it. some of us may not see things that way, but we have to acknowledge that there was a big market for that message apparently. so. okay, uh, we're gonna have to leave it there. i'm afraid i want to thank you very much. james adams at the university of california davis. thank you us. let's catch up on some of the news making headlines around the world stay. israel's military service is deploying a rescue mission for its citizens in the netherlands who were attacked at a football match. flashes broke out a game between mcabee tel aviv and a judge amsterdam, despite of ban on pro palestinian protest outside the state. russian president vladimir 13 has congratulated donald trump on his us selection, went into jim's 1st and with the public remarks on the result. he said laska was

7:08 am
dramatic collapse of schultz as coalition government maps insist germany cannot wait long before holdings now. the elections, mathis party, the center of right christian democrats, currently the most popular political party in germany. his meeting at the chancery ended after less than half an hour without any results. the opposition leader then went to meet with jeremy's president, found fontose stein maia, behind closed doors. also on thursday, charmaya officially handed finance minister christian lintner, his certificate of dismissal. he was fired by schultz the day before. 2 other ministers from wagner's party resigned also receive their papers fit this kind them funding fund. they will not be easy for any of the most and the to have
7:09 am
to abandon unfinished projects and, and they went to bed and yet circumstances can arise today that leads to the premature and we'll decide to go to the governing coalition for the to improve and done, but this is when differences of opinion between the positives become a major differences that some sort of major that they can no longer be overcomes as inexpensive of instances. since you obviously reached off the size point, yes, these are inside on phones and good luck. and a major disagreement that brought germany's 1st ever 3 party coalition to collapse was over to 2025 budget report at we mentors opposition to schultz. this plan to ease the limits on debt in order to boo support to cream by an additional $3000000000.00 euros to finance minister lends and blocks of legislation for irrelevant reasons too many times acted to serve his clientele and potty to many times with us. he broke my trust of too many times. it's because schultz has become
7:10 am
nomic advisor. your cookies is replacing lintner at the new finance minister schultz plans to proceed as a minority government with the greens until mid january passing legislation will require cooperation from opposition. parties including the christian democrats who have only offered conditional cooperation. if the chancellor agrees to an earlier vote, confidence their deadline within less than a week. spring. indeed obvious chief political corresponding here, anita. has the nina, how likely is it the transfer of charles couldn't give it into opposition, pressure and call it immediate vote of confidence swell. terry, he doesn't give us the impression at all at the moment that he's willing to do that . he said that he's sticking to his plan, that he'll request a vote of confidence in the 1st session week of the german parliament next year,
7:11 am
and that will bring us to january the 15th. i need to hold the position data of solution that's from the conservatives, that on size day again in that bi lateral talk that we and so mentioned in the report. i think there are 2 reasons. one is the official one. so says there are a couple of critical laws that still needs to be passed this year, and he wants to get them through parliament with his minority government and support of the opposition. conservative. so we're talking about pension reform, your asylum rules, and those things. and the conservatives have said, however, that they won't support any new projects. and, but i think there's at least one other possible reason to avoid the election campaigns over the christmas break. i think the thinking there is that demons wouldn't appreciate political fighting tv, tv debates, etc. during the one period of the year when it's supposed to be about harmony and family time. but the new po shows that 2 sides of germans actually want fresh elections as soon as possible now. so have clarity. so of course,
7:12 am
the opposition will keep repeating this cool for an immediate vote of confidence and they'll, they say that next wednesday would be a suitable day when the chancellor is expected to address parliament anyway. and they say that they are where they come folsom. but that is thinking about organizing some sort of public expression in parliament next week, which would of course make the month a bit more for me. so the pressure for the early vote is on what are the prospects of chancellor shows actually winning a vote of confidence in parliament? you know, the next to zeroes and the sources democrats knows that he knows that he has the conservatives against him the far right. a, the, the left wing parties, the ftp, which is why he's already talking himself about those press elections that will follow that vote of confidence. he wouldn't do that if he was convinced he'd win parliament support. and what to worry him at this point is that even in his own policy, and in the greens, many members of the bonus that would probably not vote for
7:13 am
a mazda of conviction. so what i find interesting is that he insists he wants to be the one running for the search and the democrats in those 1st elections. and the poll that i've just quoted, that shows that even among supporters of the s p d. so he's supporters that both a base only 45 percent. now saying that he's the right candidate, 47 percent of s p d support to say is not functional is germany's government right now need a given given that schultz is dead in the water in that sense? well, all eyes are owned by lin, but terry, i want to use the great german was. yeah. who knows? right. we'll see a lot will depend now on how the conservatives will behave and on that topic, foreign policy support for ukraine and germany's position within the you. there is no different view to the view in the minority government. a is a conservative also believes that support for ukraine needs to continue possibly be
7:14 am
stepped up still. but what they support the minority government in terms of actually voting with them to pos extra measures. for instance, it's anyone's guess right now, but of course they also know that the clock is ticking that the europeans actually do need to create facts on the ground in terms of support for ukraine before donald trump takes office in january. nina has chief political correspondent. thank you very much. i as you're watching the news, just a reminder of our top story is this our us present. joe biden has promised a peaceful transfer power to present electronics in his 1st address. since the vast selection by the earth nation to come together after a polarized campaign and think collection workers, for instance, ensuring a boat that was what's called on us fair and transparent coming up next year on dw, and it was, it's our car magazine rev in the era of electric vehicles or gasoline powered cars,
