Second note from the starts of the live-blog:
Von der Leyen needs 374 votes in a secret ballot to achieve a majority. She's made a number of concessions and promises in the past few days to woo MEPs and their groups. Among her pledges: granting Parliament the right of legislative initiative; revamping the Spitzenkandidat system; convening a two-year long "Conference on the Future of Europe" and appointing a "chief trade enforcement officer" to supervise the implementation of trade deals.

Will be interesting to see where those promises go and what the revamped spitzenkandidat system will look like.
