Macron names edouard philippe as french prime minister

That's not accurate. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, did not name Édouard Philippe as the French Prime Minister. Édouard Philippe was actually the Prime Minister of France from 2017 to 2020, serving under President Emmanuel Macron.

Édouard Philippe was appointed as the Prime Minister of France on May 15, 2017, after the presidential election that brought Macron to power. He served as Prime Minister until July 3, 2020, when he resigned and was replaced by Jean Castex.
