From one campaign to another.
Guest of a program centered on international issues on France 5 on Sunday evening, Éric Zemmour was questioned on the question which has been skillfully maintained by Donald Trump and his supporters since the defeat of November 2020: has the presidential election been stolen?
If Joe Biden gathered 81,268,924 votes and won 306 electors against 74,216,154 votes and 232 electors for the billionaire, the troublemaker continues to refuse the victory of the former vice-president of Barack Obama.

If the real estate magnate has accumulated appeals to try to reverse the trend, Joe Biden has settled in the White House since January 2021. Faced with the reliability of the outcome of the ballot, Éric Zemmour expresses his
"doubts" .
“I don't know, I don't have any proof, I can't say anything, I was thousands of kilometers away
,” begins by explaining the nationalist leader.
According to him, this would not be a novelty.
“I remember that John Kennedy's election in
1960
was stolen, (...).
that of Georges Bush Junior in 2000 had been stolen
”, adds the candidate for the presidential election.
Which therefore lends itself to all the conspiracy theories which stipulate that the American elite "stole" the election against the people who would have voted in the majority for Donald Trump.

If he were elected to the presidency of the Republic, Éric Zemmour affirms it: he will deal with everyone. “
I am a follower of realpolitik, that is to say that I take other states as they are. I don't give moral lessons, I don't judge others (...). Joe Biden is elected, he is the President of the United States, so I only know Joe Biden
, ”he explains.
If Éric Zemmour has reservations, it is because his campaign in France is openly inspired by the victorious campaign of Donald Trump in 2016. In addition to his book cover
France did not say his last word
(Rubempré) - him in front of a French flag and a blue sky - the Reconquest candidate also resumes his electoral strategy: to hold a populist - even provocative - speech and to grant himself the vote of the popular categories or of the French people who live in rural or peripheral territories.
Big difference with the billionaire, Eric Zemmour must juggle the candidacy of Marine Le Pen when Donald Trump, he had united behind him with the Republican Party.
