After coming in second place in the first round of voting, the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen has lost the runoff election to centrist Emmanuel Macron. Although her hardline immigration policies and antipathy towards free-trade agreements earned her strong support from “the forgotten France,” it was not enough for her to capture the majority of the vote. This is the second time that a candidate from the National Front has made it to the runoff - In 2002 her Father Jean-Marie Le Pen made it to the second round of elections but was ultimately defeated by Jacques Chirac.
