Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in the second round of Brazil’s presidential election, overcame this country’s extremist president by securing 51 percent of the votes.
He achieved this success while having organized a national unity campaign by choosing his rival from the previous election as his vice president.
We still have to wait for the consequences of Da Silva’s narrow victory and Bolsonaro’s reaction. The current extremist and right-wing president of Brazil, who is an ally of Trump, has repeatedly spoken about the possibility of election fraud, and many assessed the likelihood of his electoral coup as high.
Joe Biden, delighted by Da Silva’s victory and Bolsonaro’s defeat, quickly congratulated him.
