The Facts

• The European Parliament reelected Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday for another five-year term as president of the European Commission. The final count was 401 votes in favor and 284 against — with 15 abstentions and seven invalid votes — exceeding the required threshold of 360.

• This result comes after she held multiple closed-door meetings with the primary groups in the European Parliament.

• Von der Leyen, whose Christian Democratic Union belongs to the center-right European People's Party (EPP), called her reelection a victory for those in favor of the European Union, support for Ukraine, and rule of law.
