France's Emmanuel Macron urges unity in reelection victory speech

French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated his reelection Sunday by using his victory speech to acknowledge the country’s deep political divisions and the “anger” felt by his detractors.

With 98% of the vote counted, Macron appears to have won his race for a second term with 58% of the vote, beating far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s 42%. Macron, the youngest French leader since Napoleon, is the first French president to win a second term since Jacques Chirac in 2002. The 44-year-old centrist took a unifying tone while speaking to supporters from the Eiffel Tower in Paris Sunday evening, rejecting boo’s from the crowd at the mention of Le Pen and the far-right movement and instead saying, “I am the president for each and every one of you.”
