HAMON CONCEDES, ENDORSES MACRON

The Socialist candidate Benoît Hamon spoke to his audience after winning only 6-7 percent of the first round vote. He said: “The left is not dead.”

He also put his support behind the centrist candidate. “I call to beat the far right by voting for Macron.”

REACTION FROM MELENCHON HQ

Sophie Rauszer, a Mélenchon staffer, said: “We did by far the best campaign.” Another campaign volunteer refused to concede, saying: “We are not sure of the results as it depends on polling stations.” Right now everyone is head down, touching their phones vigorously. Data connnection is very slow, including for the TVs in the headquarters.
