Raphaël Glucksmann, a former commentator and current leader of the centre-left party Place publique, is set to officially announce his candidacy for the 2027 French presidential election. His entry adds to a crowded field of contenders, including significant figures from both the left and the far right. As he prepares for his campaign, his partner, journalist Léa Salamé, is expected to step back from her role to avoid conflicts of interest.
