Bolsonaro Lands in US, Declares Himself 'President Elect' of Brazil
- On Wednesday, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro declared himself the rightful president-elect, alleging his victory was denied by an electoral coup orchestrated by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the Brazilian Supreme Court.
- Bolsonaro based his rejection of the results on a Lula-appointed Supreme Court justice's decision to extend voting by two hours on Sunday, citing alleged voter suppression in northeastern states.
- Data shows fewer than 35,000 votes—approximately 0.03% of the total—were cast during the extra time, while Bolsonaro lost the election to Lula by around 4.5 million votes, according to Insper professor Pedro Burgos.
- After refusing a Brazilian Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday, thanking President Donald Trump and Argentine leader Javier Milei for their assistance.
- While international observers declared the vote fair, Bolsonaro claimed his election was stolen by a "criminal organization" and characterized the outcome as a "tyranny" in an open letter, providing no evidence for his fraud allegations.
