Next Thursday at 1 p.m., the European Parliament will vote on whether Ursula von der Leyen will get a second term as Commission President. There is only one round of voting, and it will be a secret ballot. The candidate needs 361 votes – one more than an absolute majority of seats – regardless of how many members are present in the plenary. In 2019, Ursula von der Leyen almost failed, ultimately securing a narrow majority by just nine votes.
