2027 presidential election: the rivalry between David Lisnard and Bruno Retailleau

In late October 2026, David Lisnard is gaining in the polls, driven by the virality of his name on X, ahead of the 2027 presidential election. On October 25, Bruno Retailleau and David Lisnard, rivals originally from the same party, agree to unite before the first round, despite substantive differences. A new poll then places David Lisnard ahead of Bruno Retailleau, while Robert Ménard estimates that neither is capable of winning the election and an OpinionWay analyst highlights the emergence of a rivalry. The question of the right and center primary then returns to the debate, Bruno Retailleau saying he is convinced he can beat Édouard Philippe in a primary, and Louis Aliot evoking a possible future collaboration with David Lisnard.
