   PARIS -- French far-right leader Marine Le Pen says she will stick with
   her strategy of making her party a more mainstream political force
   despite a stinging loss in France's regional elections, and that tactic
   will carry her into next year's presidential race.

   Le Pen also confirmed she would be a candidate in France's 2022
   presidential election. Polls show she is in a position to reach the
   runoff, possibly facing Macron again.
