Presidency within far-rights grasp in France
On Sunday, French citizens will go to the polls to choose their next president. They have two choices: incumbent Emmanuel Macron, who is seen by many to have handled crises, like the pandemic, well but has struggled to shake the perception that he is out of touch and elitist.\n\nOr, longtime far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, who has worked hard to reimagine her party, even though many of the core ideas \u2014 especially about immigration reform \u2014 remain. \n\nSome polls have the pair only a few percentage points apart \u2014 much closer than when they faced off in 2017. \n\nSarah White, a Paris correspondent for The Financial Times, joins us to discuss why the race is so tight, and what it could mean if Le Pen wins.
