"Scholz won the support of 207 lawmakers in the 733-seat lower house, or Bundestag, while 394 voted against him and 116 abstained, leaving him far short of the majority needed."
"Monday's dramatic development came after months of infighting over fiscal priorities and debt spending, which ultimately led to the collapse of the coalition."
"Scholz framed the snap election as an opportunity for voters to set a new course, casting it as a choice between a future of growth versus one of austerity."
"Shortsightedness might save money in the short term, but the mortgage on our future is unaffordable, Scholz told lawmakers in a debate with his challenger, Friedrich Merz."
