On the positive side, I understand Weidel’s German enormously better than I understand Merz. Do they have different regional accents? Does anybody know?

Both Weidel and Merz, it turns out, were born in North Rhine-Westphalia. So the difference in their German isn’t easily explained by their having different regional accents…

Interesting! Does he have a bit of a lisp, then? Or is it age-related that he speaks more mumbly?
Thank you for checking the accents!

I suspect your guess about age may be correct. Also, Weidel may simply be more intelligent and better at speaking clearly to non-native Germans.
