National Rally Clears Seat Threshold to Form First-Ever Senate Caucus in France
France's far-right National Rally has won enough seats in Sunday's Senate elections to form its own caucus in the upper chamber for the first time in the party's history, its leaders announced. Marine Le Pen, the party's leader and presidential candidate, confirmed the milestone in a post on X, saying the results had exceeded the party's expectations. Of the 348 seats in the Senate, 178 were renewed in Sunday's indirect vote, in which National Assembly lawmakers and local elected officials choose senators.
