this slip in the middle of election night

The evening was very long on France 2. During the second round of municipal elections, Laurent Delahousse and Anne-Sophie Lapix presented an exceptional program on the generalist channel. Many speakers have therefore succeeded one another on the set to react to the different results that fell live. The program therefore lasted several hours during which fatigue could accumulate in some. It is perhaps the case of Laurent Delahousse who made a slip of the tongue at the bend of a conversation.

At one point in the evening, the professor of political communication at the IEP Paris, Philippe Moreau Chevrolet, was asked about the feelings of the French regarding the management of the health crisis of the President of the Republic. “There is 56% of ‘no’, and when asked if Macron will be weakened, or strengthened, there is only 52% of ‘yes’,” said the specialist, continuing:

“On the other hand, what is interesting is that there is no competitor emerging against him, and that is interesting”. A sentence that challenged Laurent Delahousse, since he replied: “The only competitor he can have is Éric Raoult during the campaign”. A guest immediately noted the journalist’s error: “Didier, Didier!”

“This big moment of loneliness that I just experienced”

Indeed, Éric Raoult is a politician, formerly deputy and former mayor of Raincy, while Didier Raoult is a doctor who became known in particular with the promotion of hydroxychloroquine as a potential vaccine against the coronavirus Covid-19 . This slip immediately embarrassed Laurent Delahousse: “This big moment of loneliness that I just experienced … It’s huge! No, but frankly, we are tired at this time!”. However, the speakers just had fun with this slight awkwardness of language.
