French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday named Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister, reappointing him after he quit the job earlier this week.
In naming Lecornu, Macron, 47, is hoping he can draw enough support to pass a 2026 budget. Lecornu's immediate task will be to deliver a budget to parliament by the end of Monday.
"I accept - out of duty - the mission entrusted to me by the President of the Republic to do everything possible to provide France with a budget by the end of the year and to address the daily life issues of our fellow citizens," Lecornu wrote on X.
