Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles Resigns, Triggers 2027 Mayoral Race

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles announced she will resign effective June 30, 2026 and will not seek re-election in 2027, with the City Council to appoint a successor to finish her term through 2027, likely prompting a crowded field for the next full term. Lyles cited wanting to spend more time with her grandchildren, after a tenure that included steering the city through COVID, major development policy changes, the 2020 Republican National Convention, and a stadium investment, while facing scrutiny over a police chief severance and public safety concerns.

Le Pen’s EU funds appeal could decide her 2027 bid

Marine Le Pen opened a fresh appeal trial over the embezzlement of European Parliament funds, a case that will determine whether she can run in the 2027 presidential election. After a 2024 conviction that included a five-year ban and a four-year prison sentence (two suspended) plus a €100,000 fine for siphoning about €4.8 million to pay French party workers, a verdict is due by summer; the outcome could keep her off the ballot or clear a path for Jordan Bardella if she is barred. The five-year ban began in March 2025, and a reduced one- or two-year ban on appeal could end by March 2027, potentially permitting a 2027 run.
