CDU: "It's a Disaster"
Normally, a federal chancellor and CDU chairman wouldn't show up on election night immediately after the Landtagswahlen. The usual practice is to wait for early projections to solidify and to discuss the results before deciding on a proper response. Friedrich Merz typically addresses the public on the Monday following such elections.
