Will a Cabinet Reshuffle Help Embattled French President Macron?

French President Emmanuel Macron's party suffered a humiliating defeat in local elections last month. His centrist La Republique En Marche party (LREM) failed to secure a single major city while The Greens made major gains in cities such as Bordeaux and Strasbourg. With national elections just two years away, is this a sign Macron needs to change course? He’s already started to reshuffle his cabinet, but will simply replacing the Prime Minister be enough to turn things around?
