- AfD is projected to win Germany's election and is poised for historic power, with the party's rise described as casting a shadow of Trumpism over the contest (CNN, Los Angeles Times).
- The Times of Israel frames the result as leaving Jewish voters caught between Germany's left and the far-right, while CNN notes AfD itself is split over whether to cozy up to Trump.
Why it matters: An AfD victory would mark a historic far-right electoral breakthrough in postwar Germany, where mainstream consensus has long defined itself against the legacy of Nazism — making the Jewish community's dilemma, as flagged by the Times of Israel, a measure of how German political culture absorbs a Trump-style populist surge.
