Jordan Bardella: doubts over RN leadership for 2027 election

After a photo from the F1 Monaco Grand Prix with his wealthy companion and a clumsy justification, doubts are rising within Rassemblement National (RN) about Jordan Bardella's ability to be the best candidate for 2027, potentially harming his image and the party's antisystem brand.

A photo of Jordan Bardella in the official grandstand of the Monaco Grand Prix alongside his wealthy partner, combined with an awkward justification amid the Lyhanna affair, has reignited questions within the Rassemblement National (RN) about the party leader's ability to be the top candidate for the 2027 presidential election. Bardella, whose political future will be decided alongside Marine Le Pen's on July 7, may be tarnishing his image and jeopardizing the RN's antisystem stance.

The concerns are being debated by Anthony Lattier, Sarah Paillou, and Clea Caulcutt of POLITICO in their podcast "Playbook Paris." The episode is sponsored by Groupement Mousquetaires, a group that supports independent entrepreneurs in local communities.
