Cohen was born in Bizerte, a town in North Tunisia to a Tunisian Jewish father and French Catholic mother.[2]
In the 2008 French municipal elections, Cohen became mayor of Toulouse when he narrowly defeated UMP incumbent Jean-Luc Moudenc. However, at the next elections in 2014, Moudenc defeated Cohen in a rematch to re-take the job.
Ahead of the Socialist Party's 2017 primaries, Cohen endorsed Benoît Hamon as the party's candidate for the presidential election later that year.[3]
