On Monday, in France, a court convicted the far-right leader Marine Le Pen of embezzling European Union funds. The sentencing will include a ban on holding political office, likely sinking her chances at a run for the French presidency in 2027. The conviction leaves the populist National Rally party without a leader at a time of heightened popularity, raising questions about how the party will proceed. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks to Kevin Arceneaux, head of the Center for Political Research at Sciences Po in Paris.
