Brazil heads to polls in runoff between leftist Lula and Bolsonaro Jr.
The runoff could push Brazil sharply rightward and reshape ties with Washington as voters weigh crime, corruption and higher living costs.
- On Sunday, Brazilians voted in a presidential runoff between incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro.
- Bolsonaro bested Lula by more than 2.2 million votes in the first round earlier this month, amid deep political divisions across the country.
- Since the second round began, Lula's profiles received around 111 million interactions against Bolsonaro's 31 million on social media, while voting is mandatory for literate Brazilians aged 18 to 70.
- Polls opened at 8 a.m. today, though at least 75 public buses were prevented from leaving municipal garages during the vote.
- A Bolsonaro win would likely bring Brazil closer to Washington, while a Lula victory would leave Brazil and Mexico with left-of-center leaders, shaping U.S. influence across Latin America.
