Right-wing wave in Brazil's Congress boosts Bolsonaro ahead of runoff

Original: Right-wing wave in Brazil's Congress boosts Bolsonaro camp ahead of presidential runoff

Right-wing candidates made strong gains in Brazil's congressional elections, strengthening President Jair Bolsonaro's position in the legislature ahead of the presidential runoff against Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. While Lula won the first round, Bolsonaro's allies outperformed expectations, securing key seats in Congress and among state governorships, giving his camp greater bargaining power and complicating the opposition's path to governing if Lula prevails.

Why now: The congressional results have shifted momentum and expectations days before Brazil's decisive presidential runoff.
