My Take
Muller's path is the kind of rise I genuinely respect. From printer to Governing Mayor of Berlin, and briefly deputy to the German president as Bundesrat president, he built power the hard, grounded way. Born in West Berlin, he belongs to the generation that lived the divided city firsthand, which makes his stewardship of the reunified capital feel meaningful to me. The Social Democratic, feet-on-the-ground sensibility suits him. I tend to trust people who climbed from a trade into the machinery of government, because they remember where they came from, and Muller strikes me as exactly that sort.
