> France’s far-right National Rally and its allies won a record 14 Senate seats, nearly quadrupling the party’s representation and clearing the 10-seat threshold for a caucus for the first time. Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen called the result an “historic victory” months before the presidential poll.
