Flávio Bolsonaro Claims Brazil Election Victory From US

Flávio Bolsonaro has declared himself the winner of Brazil's presidential election from the United States, claiming his victory was thwarted by an alleged "electoral coup" without providing evidence. International observers have called the election fair. Bolsonaro, the right-wing candidate and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, lost to left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. He fled to Miami despite a Brazilian court ban on leaving the country related to a money laundering investigation. He thanked US President Donald Trump and Argentine leader Javier Milei for helping him depart. Brazilian authorities have opened a new investigation into Bolsonaro over possible foreign campaign financing, examining the US-based Rockbridge Network, co-founded by Vice President JD Vance. Brazilian law prohibits foreign financial support for political parties.
