Macron to face Le Pen in French election runoff: Projections

French President Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen have come out on top of France’s first-round presidential election, qualifying for the April 24 runoff, according to initial projections. With the projections putting Macron in first place and Le Pen in second, the other major candidates conceded defeat on Sunday. Except for another far-right candidate, Eric Zemmour, they all urged voters to back the incumbent in two weeks’ time in order to block the far-right.
