Gabriel Attal launches 2027 presidential bid, courting optimism over upheaval

Former prime minister Gabriel Attal announced his bid for the 2027 French presidency, joining a crowded field and leading Macron’s Renaissance party. He frames his campaign around optimism and rural appeal, distancing himself from the Paris elite, and becomes France’s first high-profile openly gay presidential candidate, even as he navigates a rift with Macron and uncertainty about the far-right National Rally's candidate amid ongoing political upheaval.

Le Pen could be replaced by Jordan Bardella, who has surged in polling in her absence.
