Videos calling for French judo champion Teddy Riner to run for president in 2027 have amassed more than 25 million views. A poll found that 22% of voters might vote for him, while 70% of French people have a positive image of him. Riner is putting forward a message that transcends the left-right divide, with initial policy ideas including pension reform, easing restrictions on the working week, and taking a hard line on crime. But to officially enter the race, he would need funding, a political network, and 500 signatures from elected local officials. He could attract voters from the center and the left, but might also further fragment the center. The suggestion that his candidacy is linked to circles around Macron remains unproven, and for now his popularity is a media earthquake rather than a fully fledged electoral shift.
