Encore: France Elects Emmanuel Macron for a Second Term

from The Global Current Hosted by Seton Hall University

French President Emmanuel Macron was inaugurated for a second term on Saturday, solidifying his next five years in office after winning France's presidential election on April 24. His victory over Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate, came with a margin of 13 percentage points but reflects the increasing division in France, which backed Macron by over 32 points in 2017. Join the Global Current today as we dissect the vote and its global implications with Analysts Joshua Axton and Kieran Besançon. Afterward, News Briefer Peter Eggerding recaps some of the most pressing stories from around the world this week. This episode was brought to you thanks to Executive Producer - Jarrett Dang, Associate Producers - Jasmine De Leon and Hamzah Khan, Host - Drew Starbuck, Technical Producers - Andrew Raccuglia and Bobby Kile.
