Hidalgo overwhelmingly won the nomination, with more than 72 percent of party members choosing her as their preferred candidate in an internal vote, party leader Olivier Faure announced Thursday night in Paris, with more than 90 percent of votes counted. In POLITICO’s Poll of Polls for the first round of next year’s election, Hidalgo sits at around 5 percent — trailing behind incumbent President Emmanuel Macron on 24 percent and far-right leader Marine Le Pen on 16 percent. “Anne Hidalgo is very determined and will prove that she is in the race,” her campaign manager Johanna Rolland said, promising to ramp up the campaign now that she has been officially nominated, according to France24. The 62-year-old Hidalgo announced her run for office in September and beat Stéphane Le Foll, the current mayor of Le Mans and the former minister of agriculture, for the Socialist nomination. In her seven-year run as mayor of Paris, Hidalgo has become known for flagship environmental policies, including the transformation of the banks of the Seine into promenades and an attempt to ban high-polluting cars from the streets while building bike lanes.
