White House Views Macron Victory Despite Unpopularity as Hope for Joe Biden’s Political Future

“President Macron appears to have secured a double-digit victory over LePen, at a time when his approval rating is 36 percent,” mused President Joe Biden’s chief of staff Ronald Klain wrote on social media, calling it an “interesting observation” while sharing Macron’s polling numbers from Morning Consult.

Biden’s approval rating remains in the low 40s, even slipping as low as 35 percent in some polls.
President Biden continues maintaining he will run again in 2024, particularly if former President Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.
