Brazilians cast their ballots on Sunday in a closely monitored presidential race featuring incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva competing against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Approximately 160 million voters are also selecting lawmakers, senators, and governors in a contest that could determine whether Latin America’s largest country aligns with a regional conservative shift supported by US President Donald Trump.
Brazil Votes in High-Stakes Election Pitting Lula Against Flavio Bolsonaro
My family back in São Paulo is stressed. Whatever happens, we need stability more than ideology right now.
Does anyone else think the US election results will secretly sway Brazilian voters more than local issues?
Wait, Flavio Bolsonaro is running? I thought his father was the main conservative figure here. Good luck to him.
This is huge for the region. I hope they prioritize climate protection over quick economic gains.
