Macron vs. Le Pen: The French presidential election runoff explained

Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will face each other in a runoff presidential election on Sunday, April 24 — a rematch of the 2017 vote.

It’s Macron vs. Le Pen, round two.

France’s presidential election will be a rematch of the 2017 contest, when the far right’s Marine Le Pen faced off against political newcomer Emmanuel Macron.

Macron won that race by nearly two votes to one.

But while the candidates remain the same, the 2022 race is shaping up to be a very different affair.
