Unsurprisingly, there is a sense of relief today across the political spectrum in Germany and I thought I’d give you a flavor of sentiments here:
“We want the West to play as a team again. Only as a team will we effectively assert our shared values worldwide and have the necessary clout.” Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas https://twitter.com/germanydiplo/status/1325162011609747457
“Joe Biden’s declaration as President-elect has sparked enormous relief, hope & joy in the US, in Germany & around the globe! ... Congrats America!”

“I’m unbelievably relieved that Trump has not won the election. The narrow result in 2020 shows Trump’s win 4 years ago was not a ‘slip-up’, but the expression of a strengthening right-wing populist bloc.”

“The election of Joe Biden is a relief. Congratulation. Not every difference of opinion with the USA will disappear now, but there now is a chance to restart the transatlantic partnership.”
