So there is a primary held between the dozen-odd parties on 10 April 2022. Already before this point....each party has done their 'picking' and gotten to the final candidate.
The national election on the 10th will then be a race to see if anyone can clear 50-percent (none will) and so the top two candidates are then 'herded' to the 22nd of April.....for a final election.
How it looks presently? Macron, nationally, is polling around 25-to-26 percent. You have two other folks polling around 16-percent each, then you drop down to one person near 13-percent. The rest are in the 1-to-9 percent point.
Odds here? Macron will be one of the final two. So the question for the public on the 22nd.....if your guy isn't there....are you willing to vote for the alternate to Macron, or vote for Macron?
Last time, this was a final race between Macron, and Marine Le Pen (the evil 'Trump-like' gal from the right-wing). This time? Le Pen is one of the two sixteen-percent people.....with the other being Valérie Pécresse.
Pécresse leans right, and I'd describe her as being a DeSantis-lite type political figure. She is fairly educated (speaks English, Russian, Japanese).
Pécresse is talking about dismissing 150,000 federal employees in the French system, and thinks some rule changes should occur to get people going back to work (off Welfare). She has said the 35-hour work-week has to end. But I would add....she does hype up some environmental measures.
If Pécresse can edge out Le Pen, I think a majority of French would likely vote for her....instead of Macron.
Another banker, replacing a banker? Well....that is the odd feature of Macron, and Pécresse.
