New York Times Paris Bureau Chief Roger Cohen and Financial Times Editor-at-Large Gillian Tett join Andrea Mitchell to explain the significance of French President Macron’s election victory, and what the unprecedented support for right-wing challenger Marine Le Pen indicates about today’s political climate in France. “The far right got upwards of 13 million votes.
