#2 Marine Le Pen stepped down on Monday as head of France’s National Front Party, a move experts say is one meant to position her so as to embrace a wider framework of voters, per Fox News.
The move comes after a split election result over the weekend, which means Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron will face one another in a runoff in May.

“Tonight, I am no longer the president of the National Front. I am the presidential candidate,” she said on French public television news.

Le Pen has said in the past that she is not a candidate of her party, and made that point when she rolled out her platform in February, saying the measures she was espousing were not her party’s, but her own.
