Overview
- Nathalie Kosciusko‑Morizet announced on Tuesday June 2, 2026 that she will support Édouard Philippe in the 2027 presidential race and that she will not run herself.
- She said she will offer practical help on technology and green issues, citing artificial intelligence and ecological transition as areas where she can be useful.
- NKM criticized the effect of social networks and the attention economy on political debate, arguing that quick reactions have replaced steady public deliberation.
- She reaffirmed firm opposition to any rapprochement between mainstream right forces and the Rassemblement National and framed Europe as key to French sovereignty.
- The move is largely symbolic but could reshape centre‑right dynamics by giving Philippe a respected endorsement and signaling efforts to consolidate votes ahead of a crowded 2027 field.
