Out of Le Pen-alty box

Le Pen, who leads the National Rally party, can run for president for a fourth time next year in 2027, after the Paris Court of Appeals shortened her ban on holding public office. However, she may have to run under conditions she won’t like: the court ruled Le Pen must wear an ankle bracelet, which she previously said she wouldn’t accept. Le Pen still has to choose whether to run again, or let 30-year-old Jordan Bardella lead France’s leading far-right party into next year’s election. Le Pen is expected to announce her political future tonight at 8pm local time (2pm ET).
