Prof. Dr. Boris Vormann provides commentary on US politics for Deutsche Welle and Tagesspiegel, and has been elected to advisory board of the German Association for American Studies
On July 15, 2025, Vormann appeared on the Deutsche Welle broadcast segment “How does Putin react to Trump's 50-day ultimatum?.” Beginning at the 8:20 mark on YouTube, he discusses the shift in Trump and Putin’s diplomatic relationship and so-called “bromance,” as well as the shifting status of the United States as a “provider of global public goods.”
In addition, on July 19, Vormann published an article in Tagesspiegel titled “Milliardär will „America Party“ gründen: Kann Elon Musk das Zwei-Parteien-System der USA umkrempeln?” (Billionaire wants to start an “America Party”: Can Elon Musk shake up the US two-party system?).
In June 2025 Vormann was elected to the advisory board of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Amerikastudien (German Association for American Studies). The DGfA/GAAS is an academic nonprofit organization with the goal to “support American Studies in Germany on an academic basis and to contribute to the consolidation of academic and cultural relations between Germany and the United States.”
