President Emmanuel Macron said a simple 'Thank you!' after winning reelection and praised the majority who gave him five more years at the helm of France.

French President Emmanuel Macron comfortably won reelection to a second term Sunday, according to polling agencies' projections. In the midst of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the result offered the European Union the reassurance of leadership stability in the bloc's only nuclear-armed power and was immediately hailed by France's allies.

"Together we will make France and Europe advance," tweeted European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Le Pen was projected to win between 41.5% and 43% support -- a still unprecedented result for the 53-year-old on her third attempt to win the French presidency. She and hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, one of 10 candidates eliminated in the first round of voting on April 10, both quickly pitched forward to France's legislative election in June, urging voters to give them a parliamentary majority to hamstring Macron.
