French President Emmanuel Macron is projected to win a comfortable victory for the presidency, with the centrist cruising to a second term as polls close across France in Sunday’s closely watched runoff election.

After a divisive election campaign, Macron, 44, is expected to win a projected 58.2% of the vote after polling suggested a closer race than previously believed against Marine Le Pen, a voice for the French right and fierce critic of Macron’s globalist proclivities, according to French exit polls. Macron will be the first French president to win a second term since Jacques Chirac in 2002.
