Right-wing gains in Brazil Congress lift Bolsonaro ahead of runoff
Original: Right-wing wave in Brazil’s Congress boosts Bolsonaro camp ahead of presidential runoff
Election results in Brazil show a right-wing wave in Congress, strengthening Jair Bolsonaro's camp ahead of the presidential runoff. Allies of the incumbent performed better than expected in legislative races, giving his bloc more seats and potentially more leverage regardless of who wins the top job. The outcome raises the stakes for the decisive second-round vote against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Why now: The runoff is imminent and the congressional results reshape the balance of power around it
