What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe centre left chose Raphaël Glucksmann, a European lawmaker, as its candidate for the 2027 presidential race.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Guardian reports he called it an existential battle to stop Marine Le Pen's far right from winning.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorExistential. Before six a.m.?

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThose were his words, not mine, and I have heard worse at a border crossing.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSecond question: does this affect me? Because I can barely pronounce his name.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot directly. It is a French vote, and it is still a year away, so you may keep your passport and your breakfast.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThird: what happens next? Do we get a fight, a debate, or a very long lunch?

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA campaign, Hank. Nobody knows yet how the centre left will unite behind him. And no, you cannot vote.
