Ursula von der Leyen secured a comfortable majority of 401 out of 707 votes in the European Parliament to continue as European Commission President until 2029, a significant shift from her narrow win in 2019 with just nine votes more than the threshold.
During her initial term, von der Leyen pursued ambitious climate goals, supported Ukraine against Russia, and led a significant post-pandemic investment effort with joint EU borrowing.
