Brazil Goes to Polls Amid Right-Wing Surge in Latin America

Brazilian voters are heading to the polls in a closely watched contest between leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Neither candidate is expected to win outright, making a runoff likely on October 25. The election will test whether Brazil follows Latin America’s broader conservative shift, encouraged by U.S. President Donald Trump. Lula highlights democracy, sovereignty, and social programs, while Bolsonaro campaigns on crime, fiscal discipline, and his family’s political legacy amid polarization and dissatisfaction.
