French election results were no big win for far-right, but the next steps are unclear. Here's what could happen.

Despite growing popularity, the extreme right was unable to secure a majority in France's election. While parts of Europe breathe a sigh of relief, France braces for the difficult process of forming a new government.

But France looked near ungovernable, with the Paris Olympics about to open in less than three weeks. The left surged, the National Rally added dozens of seats to its presence in the National Assembly, and Mr. Macron’s party suffered a stinging defeat, with the 250 seats held by his party and its allies in the National Assembly cut by about a third.
