Despite its minority status as a result of the June 2022 legislative election, the Borne government has survived multiple votes of no confidence in the National Assembly: one in July 2022 after Macron's refusal to accept the government's resignation, three in October 2022 in response to the use of constitutional article 49.3 by the government to pass a social security bill, as well as two in March 2023 again in response of the use of article 49.3 to pass a pension reform bill.

The Borne government was reshuffled twice, first in July 2022, second in July 2023.
