The results of the presidential election will be known at 8 pm on Sunday (EDT at 2 pm local time in France).

The gap at the end of the first lap was small, but it increased as the days went by.

Why? Quite simply because Emmanuel Macron really got into the campaign after the first round. Entered the field and made speeches outside. Marine Le Pen continued her campaign, but she had lost her momentum since she had already started.
