On October 27, 2026, Raphaël Glucksmann scored points during a trip to Brussels, while his presidential campaign was presented as a duel of moderates with Édouard Philippe. The same day, his spokesperson Sacha Houlié mentioned an increase of "100 euros more per year" for minimum-wage workers before correcting himself, then issued a mea culpa after a slip of the tongue on BFMTV. On October 28, despite voting intentions of 13-14 percent according to a Cluster 17 poll, Glucksmann promised to regularize 300,000 undocumented workers; Nicolas Dupont-Aignan criticized his program and Emmanuel Maurel lent his support to his candidacy, while his campaign organization and incidents during his trips were discussed. On October 29 and 30, François Hollande positioned himself after Glucksmann's victory, the candidate's line was compared to Hollande's, and David Assouline was presented as a behind-the-scenes player. On October 31, the Socialist Party tabled a bill to regularize 300,000 undocumented workers, following Glucksmann's lead.
