NEWS9 Live's video: Big blow to Macron As Marine Le Pen s Far-Right Party Leads in French Elections

The far-right National Rally (RN) party, led by Marine Le Pen, has taken the lead in the first round of France’s parliamentary elections, according to initial projections. With Le Pen's protege Jordan Bardella poised to become prime minister, the RN is ahead of leftist and centrist rivals, including President Macron's Together alliance. However, it's uncertain if the RN will secure most seats in the second round on July 7. The projections have sparked unrest, with shops being hoarded and fires lit in anticipation. President Macron urges voters to support republican and democratic candidates. What does this mean for the French President, his country and Europe? ..............................................................................................
