France’s dueling far-right presidential candidates are holding back-to-back campaign rallies Saturday, trying to steal each other’s thunder and keep their anti-immigration, anti-Islam agenda front and center in the race for the April presidential election.
Marine Le Pen, who came in second in the last presidential election in 2017, is holding what’s billed as her first major campaign event in the city of Reims in Champagne country. She will present her platform and try to reinvigorate her base after some high-profile defections to the campaign of rival Eric Zemmour.
