Watch now | Ryan James Girdusky, an expert on right-wing populism, weighed in on the victory of Marine Le Pen's National Rally party in the first round of the French parliamentary elections. The author of the National Populist Newsletter said the first round of the election, which occurred on June 30, was "fundamentally the end of [Emmanuel] Macron's presidency." Macron's party, Renaissance, once a majority in the French parliament, has dwindled down to a distant third-place contender, receiving just 20% of the vote in the first round of the French election.
