À l'approche de l'élection présidentielle de 2027, les candidats privilégient les formats longs pour toucher l'électorat.
AI-generated summary
L'usage des podcasts vidéo par les candidats politiques est une pratique importée des États-Unis. Cette tendance s'intensifie en France à l'approche de l'élection présidentielle de 2027.
Comme souvent, c’est des États-Unis que viennent les innovations médiatiques. Près de deux ans après le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, porté en partie par l’essor des podcasts vidéo, le phénomène gagne la France. Et s’accélère : à mesure que la présidentielle approche, les candidats misent sur ces formats longs, écoutés partout et à toute heure. Au point que Florian Silnicki, fondateur de l’agence de communication LaFrenchCom, parle de 2027 comme de « l’élection de l’oreillette ».
Certes, comparaison n’est pas raison, préviennent Mathieu Gallet et Jean-Jacques Bourdin, associés depuis fin janvier dans un podcast vidéo où l’ex-intervieweur star de BFMTV et RMC a déjà reçu François Hollande et Bruno Retailleau, avant Dominique de Villepin, dont l’entretien sera bientôt diffusé. Pour l’ancien patron de Radio France comme pour son partenaire, les États-Unis se distinguent de la France par des podcasts plus « militants » et des campagnes au « sens du spectacle ».

The senatorial elections of September 27, 2020 renewed 178 seats out of 348 in 63 French departments and several overseas territories, under the influence of the municipal elections in March, without however changing the right and center majority in the Senate.
Swiss voters on Sunday rejected by 70.1% a popular initiative aimed at including reinforced neutrality in the Federal Constitution, supported by the nationalist right and described as pro-Russian by its opponents. Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis welcomed the result, saying Swiss neutrality remains unchanged and must adapt to circumstances. In the canton of Geneva, voters also approved free contraception by 58.5%, a first in Switzerland. Another initiative on food self-sufficiency was rejected by 72.5%.

The National Rally and its UDR allies have crossed the threshold of ten elected officials required to form a group in the Senate following Sunday's senatorial elections, a first for the party. Jordan Bardella welcomed the result, while Manuel Bompard (LFI) accused the Environmentalists of having prevented the election of a rebellious senator. The presidents of the LR and Horizons groups were comfortably re-elected.

LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard accuses the Ecologists of having blocked the election of the rebellious candidate Martha Peciña to the Senate, defeated by three votes, while the outgoing LR and Horizons are re-elected and the RN aims to form a senatorial group after its municipal gains.

Polling stations have closed for the senatorial elections. While the right confirms its domination in rural departments, the National Rally is seeking to obtain enough seats to form a parliamentary group in the Senate.

The second round of the senatorial elections is closed in the 64 constituencies at stake. 178 seats out of 348 are renewed. The right and the center retain a large majority, while the final results are expected the next day.
