On October 27, 2026, PS senator Laurence Rossignol was appointed president of the fundraising association for Raphaël Glucksmann's 2027 presidential campaign, with Marie-Pierre de la Gontrie as treasurer. The same day, the MEP was described as making progress in Brussels and engaged in a duel with Édouard Philippe, while his spokesperson Sacha Houlié mentioned an increase of '100 euros more per year' for minimum wage earners before correcting himself. On October 28, a Cluster 17 poll credited him with 13 to 14% of voting intentions despite obstacles, and he promised to regularize 300,000 undocumented workers; Nicolas Dupont-Aignan criticized his program and Emmanuel Maurel supported him. The campaign was also marked by an apology from his spokesperson after a slip of the tongue, the composition of his organizational chart, and incidents during travel leading him to limit his appearances and strengthen his security. In the following days, François Hollande positioned himself in the left-wing landscape, Glucksmann's line was compared to his, and David Assouline was presented as working behind the scenes on his campaign.
