 NPR's Frank Ordonez reporting. The far-right party in France says it may have come in third in snap legislative elections this month, but its ascension to power is coming. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports the National Rally Party has never been stronger. The National Rally went from 89 seats to 143. Even though it's in third place behind the left and President Emmanuel Macron's centrist, it's still the largest single party as the other two blocks are coalitions.
