But voters, “to an uncomfortable extent” according to the editors of the Washington Post, were not voting for Macron but against Le Pen:

To an uncomfortable extent, Emmanuel Macron’s majority reflected not voter enthusiasm for him but voter rejection of far-right challenger Marine Le Pen, the Editorial Board writes.https://t.co/1OqLTb8AZx

Macron acknowledged this in his victory speech:

Translation: “To those who voted for me, not to support my ideas but to block those of the extreme right, your vote obliges me. This evening, I am no longer the candidate of one camp, but the President of all.”

À celles et ceux qui ont voté pour moi, non pour soutenir mes idées mais pour faire barrage à celles de l’extrême droite, votre vote m’oblige. Ce soir, je ne suis plus le candidat d’un camp, mais le Président de toutes et tous.

Now, this brings us to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain who thinks Macron’s victory is actually good news for his boss because both politicians are deeply unpopular.

“An interesting observation, just FYI,” Klain tweeted. “President Macron appears to have secured a double-digit victory over LePen, at a time when his approval rating is 36%”:

White House Chief of Staff implies that Biden can win re-election with 36% approval. The Biden Administration knows that the majority of Americans disapprove of what they’re doing, but they do not care. Disturbing. And why would Klain tweet this?! https://t.co/r0pTXjp2PT

Back in the real world, Dems are being asked if they’re going to run in 2024. What does Klain think about this?

Elizabeth Warren: "I'm not running for president in 2024. I'm running for Senate."

Kristen Welker: "Would you rule it out?"

Warren: "You can ask it any way you want but I'm gonna say the same thing. President Biden is running in 2024 and I'm supporting him. Cheerfully." pic.twitter.com/zwBBZ12WSx
