Episode #40: Macron vs. Le Pen, Part Deux

Raphaël Bouvier-Auclair on Sunday's French presidential election and why the results matter.

A big and important vote is taking place on Sunday, as the second round of the French presidential election will be decided between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen.

The polls give Macron the edge, but his advantage over the right-wing Le Pen has shrunk since they last faced-off against one another in 2017. What’s behind this closer race, and what could a victory by either Macron or Le Pen mean for France, Europe and the rest of the world?
