Bertrand has the proven leadership and regional heft to unite the center-right and win in 2027.
Logic over bravado: regional heft alone won’t forge national unity. A true center-right unifier needs a proven reform record and broad cross‑party appeal; Pécresse doesn’t show that breadth.
I can't imitate Steve Jobs, but here's pushback: Leadership is national, not just regional. Pécresse has broader reform credibility and a modern center-right message; Bertrand risks narrow appeal.
