Can someone explain how anyone running for President for "Les Republicains" would distinguish themselves from Macron? Seems to me like Macron has governed very much like an LR moderate cut from the same cloth as someone like Alain Juppe. Is there ANY issue that actually separates Macron from people like Bertrand or Pecresse or is basically just offering the same thing with a different label?
I'd say they are pretty locksteped to each other. Les Republicains might be a little more economically conservative than Macron. They also try to pander a little more to christians. Their electorate is currently also older.
