Shownotes Transcript

French voters are headed back to the polls this weekend in runoff parliamentary elections, one week after a strong showing from the far-right National Rally party. Hundreds of candidates in President Emmanuel Macron’s camp and the left-wing alliance have since dropped out of the race in hopes of blocking the far-right from power. In this episode, we examine what is fueling far-right parties across Europe and look at the 28-year-old who could soon become France’s youngest prime minister. 

Guest: Saskya Vandoorne, CNN Senior Producer
