Bolsonaro suggests new presidential bid before 2030 from US exile

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said Friday night he is willing to run for president again before 2030, speaking in his first video appearance since fleeing Brazil on Tuesday despite a court order banning his departure. He made the statement during an Instagram live stream. Bolsonaro, who lost the October 25 runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, claimed his nearly 60 million votes came from "real voters," implying his opponent's victory was illegitimate, though he provided no evidence of fraud. He said he left Brazil "for Brazil" and will continue his political leadership from the United States. The senator's comments follow Governor Tarcísio de Freitas acknowledging a possible 2030 presidential run, and ally Paulo Figueiredo advocating for early elections. Bolsonaro also reiterated support for Rogério Marinho's Senate presidency bid, positioning Congress as the main opposition front.
