Briefings

An expert from the Stone Center for Latin American Studies at Tulane University states Brazil's right-wing has progressively moved to the right over the last two decades. This analysis focuses on the 2026 presidential runoff where Senator Flavio Bolsonaro received endorsements from Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema, who ran against him in Sunday's first-round vote. Anthony Pereira argues Lula's victory depends on mobilizing voters who did not vote in the first round, while Bolsonaro benefits from voters who migrated to him, making his second-round win more likely than Lula's.
