Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro declared on Wednesday he does not recognize the presidential election result, fled to the United States, and claimed fraud without presenting evidence. His own party, PL, has recognized the result, which was confirmed by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Flavio later edited his statement, replacing "president-elect" with "leader of Brazil." The TSE confirmed Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's victory, stating the vote was secure and transparent. Flavio contested a court-ordered voting extension and said he will lead opposition from the US.
