Without Flávio Bolsonaro, he might face runoff
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, an ally of Trump, and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will face off in a crucial runoff on October 25th after neither candidate achieved an outright majority in the Brazilian presidential election. Bolsonaro received over 56 million votes, while Lula garnered around 53 million, with 99% of the votes counted. The new term will begin on January 5th, and the winner will be responsible for the largest economy in Latin America, with a population of 214 million. If Bolsonaro wins, it will increase U.S. influence in the region, while Lula's victory would strengthen Brazil's relations with China and maintain its independence from Washington.
