The French constitution allows for the President to dissolve the legislature and hold new elections. Macron did this recently in the wake of the conservative opposition party winning the most seats in the European Parliament a month ago.
The backdrop to this is that during the last Presidential election two years ago, the far right in France came to national prominence. An Algerian Jew and journalist Eric Zemmour came out of nowhere and ran a campaign of "France ought to be a white Christian nation and the Muzzies need to go back to Africa." His campaign did poorly, but his ideology caught on and it got absorbed into the more popular conservative party (RN). And RN just smacked Macron in the Euro elections so now France is sending a bunch of Euroskeptics to Brussels to give the EU the finger. Zemmour is basically screwed politically and no longer relevant, but the RN adopted most of his platform.
So Macron calls a snap election. Unlike the US, the far left in France does not support the centre-left party. They are a bunch of hardcore wokies and commies. Macron's party is technically considered "centrist" by French standards. His tactic here is that he wants to scare people on the fence into joining the middle. Technically speaking, the RN is only polling at about 30%, so that leaves a remaining 70%. Macron thinks he can obtain a plurality.
His problem is that French politics is deeply divided into all sorts of ridiculous pet issues. It would be like if in the US the Green Party and the Libertarians and the Commies and the Wokies all had different parties that were politically relevant and someone like Biden could be President with only 25% of the vote and a lot of mini "alliances". At any rate he believes that he can make the RN small by getting lefties and moderates and people scared of change to come back to the middle and vote for his centrist party. If voters are really anti RN they have the numbers to consolidate power for Macron. If they don't then he really screwed himself and will look like a complete idiot. But decent chance he gets the votes he needs to proceed for the next 3 years of his Presidency.
