Raphaël Glucksmann Runs in French Socialist Primary Ahead of 2027 Presidential Election

Raphaël Glucksmann is seeking to represent France’s Socialists in the 2027 presidential election, but recent reporting does not say he has won a primary. The contest was scheduled for mid-October, with the party weighing its role in a divided left.
