Brazil’s Flávio Bolsonaro to secure presidential bid despite headwinds
Brazilian Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro is confirmed as the Liberal Party's presidential candidate against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, facing challenges including lack of centrist support, a female running mate, and self-inflicted issues like requesting funds from a jailed banker and U.S. tariffs. His campaign is strained by his stepmother's absence, criticism over voting system claims, and the Popular Party distancing itself.
