Bolsonaro to lead Brazil opposition from US, claims election victory

Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election, has announced from the United States that he will lead the opposition, while falsely calling himself the elected president. Bolsonaro arrived in the US today and issued an open letter repeating unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, citing his nearly 60 million votes against Lula da Silva's 64 million. He deleted his initial social media post after calling himself president, replacing it with "leader of Brazil." The Brazilian Supreme Court had ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports amid investigations into money laundering and corruption, which he calls a politically motivated witch hunt. He fled fearing imprisonment like his father Jair, and thanked US President Trump and Argentine President Milei for their welcome.
