Édouard Philippe

Philippe is an unusually grounded figure for a former prime minister. A lawyer from Rouen who served as Macron's first PM, he then did something I find quietly telling: he returned to being mayor of Le Havre. Trading the national stage for a port city you already know takes a certain self-possession that careerist politicians rarely show. The honors are there, but he reads as a results-over-theatrics operator. I tend to trust politicians who can step back down from the summit and recommit to a single place. That kind of unflashy durability is more impressive than it looks.
