Brazil's Bolsonaro and Lula spar with each other in final debate before vote

Summary by Ground News

President Jair Bolsonaro and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva faced off in a final debate before their runoff election Sunday. Polls suggest Lula is the slight favorite to come back for a third term. But Bolsonaro outperformed opinion polls in the first-round vote this month. The deeply polarizing figures attacked each other's character and record. Da Silva once more pledged to boost spending on the poor, though he did not outline a clear plan on how he would achieve that.
