Bolsonaro Vows to Lead Brazil Opposition From US Exile

Brazil's defeated right-wing presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro vowed Wednesday to lead the opposition from the United States, where he fled into self-imposed exile, claiming electoral fraud in Sunday's runoff won by leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, under investigation for alleged corruption, landed in Florida and asserted he is the "elected president" facing a "tyranny," though he later revised his title to "leader." His Liberal Party's Senate leader Rogerio Marinho expressed solidarity but distanced himself from fraud claims, stating there is no evidence. Bolsonaro departed despite a travel ban and passport surrender order, using Italian nationality to transit via Argentina and Ecuador. He faces fraud probes, including a biopic financing case, while US President Donald Trump said he won't get involved.
