That’s a problem in the whole USA political scene. Why does the first lady hold events and give speeches? In Germany, we usually don’t even know whether the chancellor is married or not, and if we do, we certainly don’t know the name of the partner and have never scene them on TV.
That’s true for previous chancellors but not for Merz. Yet another thing where he sets a negative example. His wive was a somewhat vocal in his election campaign and the district court led by her attracted negative attention when it bullied a political opponent of Merz by illegally issuing a search warrant (German source). She did of course dispute being personally involved, but it smells fishy anyways.
Well thanks. Idk how long of a list that was, I’m not too surprised, I would imagine most people both eligible and likely to get elected to be married statically.

LOL I’ve always wondered that as well. I guess because it makes their partners look better.
I guess you wouldn’t really know but have you ever had one that was single?
I just went through the list on Wikipedia, no, they were all married.
Honestly, I thought our previous chancellor, Olaf Scholz, was single. But no.
