On October 27, 2026, PS senator Laurence Rossignol is named president of the financing association for Raphaël Glucksmann's 2027 presidential campaign, with Marie-Pierre de la Gontrie as treasurer. The same day, the MEP is described as scoring points in Brussels and as engaged in a duel with Édouard Philippe, while his spokesperson Sacha Houlié mentions a "100 euros more per year" increase for minimum wage earners before correcting himself. On October 28, a Cluster 17 poll credits him with 13 to 14 percent of voting intentions despite obstacles, and he promises to regularize 300,000 undocumented workers; Nicolas Dupont-Aignan criticizes his program and Emmanuel Maurel lends him his support. The campaign is also marked by his spokesperson's mea-culpa after a slip of the tongue, by the composition of his organizational chart, and by incidents during trips that lead him to limit his appearances and strengthen his security. In the following days, François Hollande positions himself on the left-wing landscape, Glucksmann's line is compared to his, and David Assouline is presented as working behind the scenes on his campaign.
