Brazil's electorate remains 'divided': Will Bolsonaro trial 'bleed into 2026 presidential election'?

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been charged with orchestrating a plot to stay in office after losing the 2022 election, as stated by Brazil's prosecutor general Paulo Gonet.
The charges against Bolsonaro include leading a criminal organization, attempting a coup, and he could face decades in prison if convicted, according to legal experts.
Bolsonaro's case is currently with Brazil's Supreme Court, which will decide if he stands trial for his alleged crimes.
Despite his legal issues, several of Bolsonaro's allies believe he will be on the ballot for the next presidential election rather than serving time in prison.
