From 2002 to 2005,<ref>UN rights commission resumesunder fire The New York Times, 16 March 2005.</ref> Muselier served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,<ref name="Frey2009">Template:Cite book</ref> under the leadership of successive ministers Dominique de Villepin and Michel Barnier.

Following the 2007 legislative election, Muselier re-joined the National Assembly, serving on its Committee on Foreign Affairs from 2007 to 2012.<ref>Renaud Muselier National Assembly.</ref>

Muselier was reelected of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in 2015 and became its first vice-president under the presidency of Christian Estrosi.

Member of the European Parliament, 2014–2019Edit

Muselier became a Member of the European Parliament following the 2014 European election. Throughout his term, he served on the Committee on Transport and Tourism. In addition to his committee assignments, he was a member of the Parliament's delegation to the ACP–EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.

In the 2016 The Republicans presidential primary, Muselier endorsed Nicolas Sarkozy as the party's candidate for the office of President of France.<ref>Ludovic Vigogne (20 April 2016), Bataillons: Primaire à droite: la liste des premiers soutiens parlementaires L'Opinion.</ref>

Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 2017–presentEdit

On 29 May 2017, Muselier was elected President of the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, succeeding Christian Estrosi, who returned as Mayor of Nice.

Muselier announced his intention to run for reelection on a joint ticket with La République En Marche! (LREM) in 2021, under an agreement brokered by Prime Minister Jean Castex.<ref>Clea Caulcutt (4 May 2021), French conservatives reeling after Macron’s kiss of death Politico Europe.</ref> However, this led to the resignation of Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi and Toulon Mayor Hubert Falco from The Republicans a few days later. LREM politician Sophie Cluzel subsequently announced she would lead a list herself, thus terminating the joint ticket agreement, before backtracking and announcing the agreement would be upheld.<ref>Loris Boichot (7 May 2021), Régionales en Paca: la secrétaire d'État Sophie Cluzel sera finalement tête de liste LREM, Le Figaro.</ref> Muselier ultimately received 57.3 percent of the vote, against 42.7 percent for National Rally candidate Thierry Mariani.<ref>Clea Caulcutt (27 June 2021), Marine Le Pen fails to make gains in French local elections Politico Europe.</ref>

Ahead of the 2022 presidential elections, Muselier publicly declared his support for Xavier Bertrand as the Republicans’ candidate.<ref>Pierrer Maurer (29 October 2021), Renaud Muselier : «Je soutiens Xavier Bertrand pour le Congrès des Républicains» Le Figaro.</ref> Shortly after, he announced his decision to leave the Republicans, accusing fellow party member Éric Ciotti of "conveying the ideas of Éric Zemmour within LR", after Ciotti stated he would vote for Zemmour in a hypothetical run-off against Macron.<ref>Pierrer Maurer (29 October 2021), Renaud Muselier : «Je soutiens Xavier Bertrand pour le Congrès des Républicains» Le Figaro.</ref>
