French far-right presidential candidates fight for limelight

PARIS (AP) — France’s dueling far-right presidential candidates have held back-to-back campaign rallies.

Both are hoping to unseat President Emmanuel Macron in the two-round election April 10 and April 24. Macron has a campaign team in place but has yet to officially declare his candidacy.
