In 2019, the EU started the "lead candidate" system, in an effort to show there was democracy involved in the choice of EU leader.
The EPP bloc won and their candidate was a politician named Manfred Weber.
He was probably just as globalist as her, but that's not the point.
What happened next was a ton of shady backroom deals to empty chair Weber and vote in Von Der Leyen, a failed politician from Germany who caused scandals everywhere she went, earning many nicknames.

In March 2018, Weber voted against initiatives prohibiting gay conversion therapies, unlike the majority of the European People Party's MEPs.[27] This vote raised the question on whether he is in favour of such practices.[citation needed]
