The day was dominated by a violent tornado that struck the village of Pomas in the Aude, leaving at least 41 injured and 2,800 homes without power. Coverage by BFMTV, Le Figaro, and France TV Info focused on the search for two missing people and the destruction of 300 homes. Earlier, the 2027 presidential race continued to dominate political coverage, with Raphaël Glucksmann's official candidacy and the Socialist primary field taking shape. Yannick Jadot endorsed Glucksmann, and Léa Salamé withdrew from France 2's evening news. Jean-Luc Mélenchon's surge in polls was widely reported, with Le Figaro noting his potential second-round qualification. The government's budget warnings and the announcement of a phone ban in high schools also featured prominently, alongside the death of radio icon Philippe Bouvard.
