TL;DR

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has indicated he may advance the timing of a confidence vote in his government, potentially leading to earlier elections. This follows the collapse of his three-party coalition after he dismissed finance minister Christian Lindner of the Free Democrats (FDP). Scholz now leads a minority government with the Social Democrats and Greens. Meanwhile, Robert Habeck, the deputy chancellor, announced his candidacy for chancellor, though the Greens' low polling numbers make his chances slim.
