Le Pen Will Run in France’s 2027 Presidential Race

July 7, 2026 · 3:18 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Marine Le Pen, France’s far-right leader for two decades, intends to make her fourth presidential run even after an appellate panel ordered her to wear an electronic-monitoring device when it upheld her conviction for misusing public funds,” Bloomberg reports.

“The head of the populist National Rally, which leads in opinion polls, will launch her 2027 campaign and lodge an appeal to France’s top court. The maneuver will delay the sentence and enable her to travel unencumbered by the electronic bracelet.”
