When they go to the polls on Sunday, voters in France will be faced with the same two presidential candidates as 2017: Emmanuel Macron, the president and a polished centrist, and Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right National Rally party.

What are the stakes in the runoff election, and how has the race become so close?
Guest: Roger Cohen, Paris bureau chief for The New York Times.
