a powerful display of voter dissatisfaction, voters in 27 european countries give a powerful surge of port to far-right parties in the european union elections now, this is led french president emmanuel macron to dissolve parliament and call a snap election in france. after polls show his party being trounced by the far-right opposition party macron said he's called the selection to give voters a say after these most recent you elections. >> cnn correspondent melissa bell is joining us now from paris and melissa walk us through these elections and what they mean and what the fallout is fallout biggest of all in france, just because you just said this is across the 27 countries, the european union that people voted for 720 european parliamentarians. now, what happened, your rib wide is that the far-right made some pretty big gains. the center-right came out as the biggest this block in the european parliament. but the far-right made some pretty big games with that radical right. now representing the second biggest block. and that could have important implications for the kind of policies that we see coming forward here in europe in a number of different areas climate policies things like immigrants patient, they will have more of a say the far-right, with very different policies and traditional right than they've had in the past. biggest fallout though, here in france. now, emmanuel macron did not have to draw from the far right in france, coming first with more than 30% of those votes in european elections, the consequences that he did, he did not have to call a snap election as a result salt he has because of the significance, because the scale of the far-right fig tree, he says now the people need to be given a chance to vote in legislative elections, which means that later this month and in early july, we'll have a series of legislative elections. the parliament's dissolved a new bunch of lawmakers will come in. and if the far right does very well in these forthcoming elections, there is the possibility that france could have a prime minister during thrown from the far-right. and historically that had would be extremely sick. again politically, it could mean big changes. jessica, melissa just trying to understand and gives some context to our american viewers if that were to happen, that scenario you were just describing, is that like the american equivalent of president biden having to work with a far-right republican controlled house and senate. >> essentially, it's very divided government and it's very hard to get anything done partly, it's already happened. szasz actually cut to work with the left in the prime minister ship. and it can be difficult with two different parties having to essentially share power. one legend to one executive. so to that extent, you're correct. the comparisons the same, the difference here though, and i think it's a significant one. is it you're not talking about the traditional, right? are the traditional left? >> you're talking about mecole centrist party having to function with the far-right, the radical right that have very different policies on a number of different issues. >> and that's true. europe pride wide you're talking about far-right parties. some of them are pretty euroskeptic and that could have implications for the functioning of the eu others are forest sort of retreat behind borders and want less immigration some have a very different relationship to russia. some have more proximity, are against funding the war in ukraine, there are not a monolith, but these radical right-wing parties do have radical agendas that are at odds with the way the european union has been run for the last two decades for its vision, for its future. and certainly as far as france's run, it would be very different, no doubt to any other party that we've seen in that position already, the far-right says it is ready to come to power. through those legislative elections. >> and the changes, the disruption could be pretty significant to the wave france is run not only because emmanuel macron would have a majority with which to work in the parliament. >> as you say an opposing party as in the example you gave the republicans, democrats. but with this difference that the far-right is far more radical than the traditional one here in france. jessica, yeah, some really great contexts there. melissa bell, thanks so much for that reporting. we appreciate it. >> and back here at home i'm former president donald trump holding a rally in the swing state of nevada. it's a state trump lost in both 2016 and 2020, but a recent poll shows him grainy gaining some ground there. >> now this is trump's first large-scale rally since he was convicted on those 34 counts in the new york hush money trial, cnn report are alayna treene is in las vegas with the with the latest on this and alayna, besides the scorching hot weather what was trump's main focus during this rally well, actually going to tell you just to go what he didn't really touch on, which was his conviction in manhattan on 34 counts of falsifying business records. so despite this being his first campaign rally since that verdict, donald trump did not specifically bring up that trial. what i find really interesting about that is that over the past several days, both donald trump and his allies have been railing against the verdict and using it to call for retribution against his political opponents. we've heard donald trump over the past several days claim that he would potentially prosecute his political opponents including president joe biden, if he were to win in november. so i found it very interesting. he didn't bring that up. however, he did talk about his legal troubles more broadly and he specifically packed president joe biden. he argued that even in third world countries that they do not have a justice department or a government that weaponize is their power as much as here. and he also claimed that the only way joe biden could win again is if he cheats, take a listen to how he put it i tell you what no third world country has weaponization, where they go after political candidates, like we have either this guy can get elected anything without cheating the only way he can get elected is to cheat now just to go a few things, i just want to fact check their one is that there is no evidence that joe biden has had any role in any of the indictments and charges that donald trump is facing the other. is that we know that the 2020 election, despite trump continuing to claim that it was stolen, there is no evidence of widespread fraud, but i will say from my conversations with trump's team, they really tell me that they want donald trump to leave his weeks long criminal trial in the past, they are very eager for him to return to his general election campaign messaging. and that includes talking about immigration crime, the economy, all things they think voters will actually head to the polls for this fall. and we did here, donald trump do that one big piece of news he said today is that if you were to win another term, he would eliminate taxes on tips and that was particularly important to voters here in nevada, just given the states dependence on tourism and hospitality, justice, alayna treene and las vegas force. thanks so much for that reporting. and joining us now is tom nichols, staff writer for the atlantic. tom, thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. >> let's start first. we're alaina was we heard a lot of the usual trump refrains at this rally that he held in las vegas. >> but as she noted, we did see him taking aim at the justice department and specifically named calling special prosecutor jack smith trump is of course, still facing those two federal criminal trials. >> i'm curious what urinalysis is of this first rally post-conviction for him he's his conviction in new york and the ongoing trials, i think they've really they're continuing to unhinged him because this kind of direct attack on jack smith with the name calling even for him. >> it's a little bit on the edge, but it's part of donald trump's ongoing strategy that any institution in american life that opposes him or hold him accountable for anything has to be delegitimized completely from the rally stage if he loses a case in court, then the entire judicial system has to be destroyed. if he loses an election than all elections are rigged and everything in america is a rape game against him. so i think you're just going to see him get worse because trump, no matter what his team may have told your reporter, trump doesn't care about issues. there is no issue in this election for him other than revenge and getting elected so that he can stay out of prison. and that's what he's going to keep going with because it clearly obsesses him as it should considering how many more criminal indictments he faces. >> right? and so now we wait to see what his sentencing will be in that in that criminal trial and then the other trials, of course, outstanding. and yet the polling we're getting still shows an incredibly tight race across the board. and right now we're putting up this swing-state polling, which shows trump there's a margin of error of three points. he's up five points, five points, four points. and then in virginia of all states, tide of course, that's the state that biden won by ten points it's in 2020 what do you make of this race kind of staying as it is, it seems to me that we all knew this was always going to be a pretty tight race, right? >> it was always going to be tight because of the electoral college. >> i still don't think donald trump, who has never won a national majority is going to win a majority this time and his team is smart enough to know that they should engage in micro targeting. a very small numbers of people in four or five states to try and thread that needle of the electoral college, which is what he did in 2016 and which hill he couldn't do in 2020 and that he's going to try to do again, i think a couple of things have to be born in mind. first of all, it's still, it's not even summer yet but also that the polls show that people who follow politics and are likely to vote and are engaged actually give biden and all the people who don't pay much attention to the news, who are not particularly reliable voters put trump ahead. and if i were running a presidential campaign, i think i'd rather have the likely engaged voters on my side going into the election. but this is i've said for a long time, this is an election that's really let me not about policies anymore. >> we've, we've kind of been a post policy country now for several years, where people vote on vibes and feelings and celebrities and images. >> and it doesn't. i have to say it doesn't surprise me that not much has changed. at least this far into the campaign now, voting on vibes and feelings, eye on that note, do want to ask you about are breaking news that we talked about at the top of the hour. what's playing out in europe right now with these elections in the european union, elections, we saw these big gains for far-right parties among 27 countries in europe. we know the french president is now within his own country dissolving parliament, calling for this very quick snap election. >> what would you say? what is to be drawn from what's going on and what we're seeing happening there, and what we're seeing happening in the us, and what that might mean just for what's, what's the vibe and feeling in western democracies right now? >> well, there's two separate issues. one is that the vibe among democracies i think is that democracy is on its back foot because the people who support authoritarian movements have gotten their act together. they're there, their propaganda is effective. they are working very hard to undermine democracy around the world with the aid of authoritarian regimes in places like russia and china but americans need to understand that these were elections for the european union parliament, not individual parliaments in europe. and the european union has never been as popular as a lot of folks might think it is and sometimes this is a kind of a safety valve of where people vote for european union elections to send a really hard message in ways that they would probably not vote at home. and i suspect that's why macron has called for this snap election to say okay, that's what you voted for the european union, is this really how you want to be governed at home let's answer that question. let's remember that great britain, which has pulled out of the european union, you would think the hardest right environment there is there conservative party is on the verge of losing a major election in the coming weeks so i wouldn't draw too much either about the right-left split or anything happening in the united states in europe, from european union elections because those are always kind of a different animal over there. >> yeah, very good. an interesting analysis there. all right, tom nichols, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you israel is also seeing a shakeup among the ranks of its government as a key official says he is quitting the war cabinet. >> what this means
