He was a member of the National Assembly of France and represented the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. In June 2017, he declared himself in favor of the reunification of the Radical Party and the Radical Left Party. On November 12, 2017, he was re-elected party president with 79% of the vote, against the backdrop of the party's forthcoming merger with the PRG in December.
Before the Republicans' 2016 presidential primary, Hénard endorsed Alain Juppé as the party's candidate for the 2017 French presidential election.[1] In 2019, he publicly declared his support for the incumbent president, Emmanuel Macron.[2] Before the 2022 elections, he endorsed Macron for re-election.[3]
