French Conservatives Maintain Senate Control as Far-Right Gains Ground

France's conservative Les Républicains party is set to maintain its dominance in the Senate following Sunday's elections, dealing another blow to President Emmanuel Macron's ruling party. The Senate, unlike the lower house, is not elected through direct universal suffrage but by an electoral college representing local officials. The results showed a trend of incumbent senators retaining their seats, with Les Républicains expected to remain the largest faction, followed by the Socialists. Macron's party has faced electoral setbacks in recent years, losing its majority in the National Assembly in 2022. The far-right National Rally also celebrated its return to the Senate, winning three seats.

"Trump's Fundraising: From Slow Start to Surging Success"

Former President Donald Trump raised $14.4 million for his main campaign committee in the first quarter of 2023, with donations spiking at the end of March as news broke of his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury. GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley's campaign appears to have double-counted money routed among her fundraising committees, overstating the topline figure. Embattled New York Rep. George Santos refunded more contributions than he took in during the first three months of the year. Some of the Democratic Party’s most vulnerable Senate incumbents have stepped up their fundraising ahead of tough 2024 election fights.

Dutch Farmers' Protest Party BBB Shakes Up Political Landscape with Election Win.

The BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB) party, founded in 2019 to address nitrogen pollution on farms, emerged as the big winner in the Dutch provincial elections, winning 15 of 75 seats in the Senate. The party's success is a major blow to Prime Minister Mark Rutte's governing coalition, which aims to cut nitrogen emissions in half by 2030. The BBB's rise is due to growing distrust of the government and anger over issues such as immigration. The government has not had a Senate majority since 2019 and must negotiate deals with mostly left-wing opponents.
