Les Republicains has yet to choose who will lead its presidential campaign, but after Sunday’s vote, Xavier Bertrand is well placed to win the nomination, writes CNBC.
“He is currently the best placed among potential right-wing candidates in the first round of the presidential election,” Eric Mengus, associate professor at HEC Paris Business School, said via email. “Yet, the nomination (within Les Republicains) is still open and will take place only in the fall,” he added.
