'There is a trend here': Experts celebrate as French left wing appears to beat far right

France's left-wing New Popular Front is expected to finish ahead of the nation's far-right party in French parliamentary elections, and it's causing some excitement in the United States.

CNN reported Sunday that left-wing group "was projected to win between 172 and 192 seats in the National Assembly, making it the largest party, but falling short of the 289 seats required to form an absolute majority." This would mean a finish even in front of President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble alliance.
