Rassemblement national

Rassemblement national (RN) president Jordan Bardella lunched on Monday April 20 with the Medef bureau, a first for a party leader. Before the meal, he stated he was not there as a student and criticized the government's economic policy. The meeting comes one year before the 2027 presidential election.

An Elabe poll for BFMTV and La Tribune Dimanche positions Édouard Philippe as best placed to face the Rassemblement national in the presidential runoff, with narrow wins against Jordan Bardella or Marine Le Pen. Jordan Bardella dominates the first round in most scenarios, except against the former prime minister. All other tested candidates lose to RN figures.
