Scholz has not yet been nominated as the SPD’s candidate for chancellor. But he does show the differences to his likely competitor.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz looks calmly at an election campaign against the Union candidate for chancellor Friedrich Merz. The differences in character and temperament between them are great, said Scholz in Caren Miosga’s ARD show. When asked about the biggest difference in character, he explained: “I think I’m a little cooler when it comes to matters of state – to put it as politely as I can manage it right now.” In addition, they both have very different political goals.
Unlike Merz, Scholz has not yet been officially nominated as his party’s candidate for chancellor. But he has no doubts that it will be put up, the 66-year-old said on the talk show. And he believes in reversing the SPD’s significant gap to the Union, which is visible in the surveys. “This is a very catchable magnitude,” said Scholz. In surveys, the Social Democrats are currently 15 to 18 percentage points behind the CDU and CSU.
