In the first round of the French parliamentary elections on July 2, 2024, President Macron's camp suffered a major defeat, with the far-right 'National Alliance' seeing a rise of a political newcomer, the 28-year-old Bardra. Through TikTok campaigning, Bardra successfully attracted young voters and led the far-right to a big victory. If the situation remains the same in the second round of voting, he has a chance to take over as Prime Minister, posing a significant threat to Macron. Bardra, anointed successor by Le Pen, transformed the National Alliance from a small party to a mainstream political force, appealing to voters tired of elite politics represented by Macron with his humble background and social media presence.
