Not forever though. Unless he can move from a political-outsider type to defining his party as more than a movement, he will die out when interest dies out. Especially when the traditional left and right (Socialists and Republicans) can get back on their feet and actually face him in an election. Right now outsiders like Macron, Melenchon, and Le Pen, who aren't necessarily all mainstream/establishment in my opinion, are getting the benefit of an open political field. But Covid will forever shape Macron's and LREMs chances.
PS isn’t really going to get back on its feet anytime soon. Les Républicains has a better shot at getting back together than PS does.
Though really the only actual challenger Macron has is Le Pen and RN
