Trump stayed quiet on Brazil's election, and it may have helped
Original: Trump kept silent in Brazil’s election. It might have helped his ally.
Donald Trump refrained from publicly intervening in Brazil's presidential election, and The Washington Post reports his silence may have actually benefited his ally, Jair Bolsonaro. Open backing from the former US president could have energised opponents, so restraint was arguably the more useful posture. The item is drawing attention as observers weigh how much foreign political endorsements shape Brazilian voters.
Why now: It offers a fresh take on the role of US political influence in Brazil's closely watched election.
