THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right:
"Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
To all the *politicians* who stepped back from the runoff yesterday (more than 200, I think) - MERCI
Honestly, for them to walk away from a shot at a seat is something.
