European Parliament Elections Likely to Make Biden ‘Very Nervous’

The European Union may have just taken a big step to the political right, and the Biden administration should take note, Nile Gardiner says.

The European Parliament held elections Thursday through Sunday, in which millions of Europeans cast their ballots across 27 countries, and Europe’s conservatives won big.

In response to this “political revolution,” French President Emmanuel Macron has called for snap legislative elections at the end of June and beginning of July. According to Gardiner, this is a very risky move for Macron, as he is giving the French electorate the chance to further embrace a conservative government.
