The 65-year-old German politician has been endorsed for a second term as the head of the powerful European Commission. Her bid got a shot in the arm earlier this month as the center-right European People's Party (EPP), which includes von der Leyen's Christian Democratic Union, remained the largest group at the EU Parliament.
