French President Emmanuel Macron is holding a major campaign rally in Marseille to try to draw in voters who supported a leftist candidate in the first round of France's presidential election, ahead of Macron's April 24 presidential runoff with far-right challenger Marine Le Pen.
Voters in the multicultural southern French Mediterranean city — one which has often been associated with racism and gang violence -- favored hard-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon against the centrist Macron in the April 10 first round of voting that knocked out 10 candidates. Melenchon came in third, after Macron and Le Pen.
