The possibility of this happening arises from the fact that the German constitution provides for secret votes among Bundestag members on chancellor. That may make sense in some contexts, but today it just allows what happened today to occur since SPD or even CDU members who hate Merz personally (he has many enemies) can screw him without facing consequences from their party.
I'm sure he will win the next vote, partly because there are a lot of Bundestag members who would lose their seat to the AfD if new elections were held. So he should pick up some votes even from Green Party and die Linke reps who want to keep their seat.

I assume most here are rooting for the AfD. So I guess their dream scenario would be for Merz to lose again on the next Bundestag vote so they could have new elections. But that's extremely unlikely.

He's slightly to the right in the CDU since he's stricter on immigration than, say, Angela Merkel. But he would be considered a moderate Dem in America.
Alice Weidel is the head of the AfD, and she's not nearly as right wing as many make her out to be. Björn Höcke heads the far right wing of the AfD but Weidel is clearly the leader.

Not sure about before, but she just this year criticized Merz for using AfD votes to curb immigration. So she's still a dove/traitor on the issue.

Interesting- die Linke voted along with the CDU, SPD and Greens to reach the 2/3 needed to vote again today. AfD alone in opposing.
