Bolsonaro to lead Brazil opposition from US, claims election victory

Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election, arrived in the United States and declared he will lead the opposition from there, calling himself the elected president despite his defeat. He issued an open letter repeating unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, alleging winner Lula da Silva won through illegal actions without providing evidence. International observers deemed the vote fair, and Bolsonaro received nearly 60 million votes versus Lula's 64 million. Bolsonaro left Brazil after the Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passport amid investigations into money laundering and corruption. He claims a politically motivated witch hunt, citing his father Jair's imprisonment, and thanked US President Trump and Argentine President Milei after landing in Miami.
