LePen pounds Macron in French presidential debate | Eastern NC Now

Globallist French president Macron a few weeks ago had ruled out participating in a debate during the presidential runoff, and now may be wishing he had stuck to his guns on that instead of backing down and debating populist / nationalist challenger Marine LePen of the National Rally.  Unlike Macron's blowout debate win in their last debate in 2017, LePen made a very strong showing taking Macron down on his many failings during his term as president, particularly on the economy and immigration.  Many observers are viewing this debate as pivotal for the runoff election outcome.

Meanwhile the French Catholic hierarchy is staying out of this election, after opposing LePen's party in earlier elections, and polls show LePen doing very well among Catholic voters.  On the other side, two major Muslim mosques in Paris have endorsed Macron.
