Brazil's tight election seen as test for pro-Trump Latin American bloc
Original: Brazil's neck-and-neck election offers test for growing pro-Trump Latin American bloc https://www.theguardian.com/world/
Brazilians are voting in an election described as neck-and-neck, pitting incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Jair Bolsonaro. Commentators are framing the vote as a test for the growing pro-Trump movement across Latin America, with the outcome likely to shape whether the regional right continues to gain ground aligned with the US president's political brand.
Why now: The Brazilian election is running in a virtual dead heat, and its result is viewed as a bellwether for Trump-aligned politics across Latin America.
