Zemmour seems incredibly based to me, I find it even hard to believe he's been allowed to get this far. Also, good thing that he's replacing Le Pen, who has already demonstrated she isn't viable and has moved so much to the "center" that I don't even think it would be all that great to have her in power terms of cost-benefit, considering the backlash she would generate and the attrition the right-wing would inevitably take. I hope the Le Pen base completely switches over to Zemmour, as a divided right would be the worst-case scenario.

I have two questions pertaining to Zemmour, if OP or someone french could answer them it'd be appreciated: 1- How is the fact that he is an afro-jew perceived by the Marine Le Pen base, and do you think of it as a problem when considering whether or not to support him? 2- Economically speaking, would he be a classic free-market conservative or more Le Pen-style statist? I would assume that free-market economics could alienate some of the youth and white working class voters, while at the same time winning over some older people and cuckservatives.

He's just too big. They're trying to cancel him but it's not working.

I doubt it's a problem. He may be a Jew but he's a very antithetical Jew.

Le Pen-style statist. Reactionaries in France hate the free market.

Sounds great.
