Emmanuel Macron’s party formed a last–minute agreement with right-leaning lawmakers to win a key vote in parliament on Thursday that opens the door to the French president playing a greater-than-expected role in forming the country’s next government.
The two political groups put together an ad-hoc alliance to reelect Yaël Braun-Pivet as head of the French National Assembly, the fourth highest-ranking official in France. The vote was widely seen as a test to see who could work together in France’s fractured parliament to name a future prime minister.
In combining their forces, the centrists and the center right seized political momentum while also delivering a stunning blow to their rivals further to the left.

I said the Democrat leadership chose him. You said that doesn’t matter because he won the primary. I said he won the primary in part because Democrat leadership chose him, and here’s how. I never complained. What they did wasn’t cheating or illegal, and I don’t think it should be.
No need to project a bunch of feelings onto me.
It doesn’t matter. You either get votes or you don’t. They could’ve picked coalesced around anyone. What difference does it make? Bernie had a good a chance as anyone in 2020. He just didn’t win.
You’re basically just rehashing the same “it isn’t fair” that a bunch of people do. It was completely fair but Bernie’s fanbase was not nearly as big. Or that didn’t show up. My entire point.
Edit- lot of butthurt people that can’t accept reality evidently.
