Lula and Bolsonaro Make Final Pitches Before Brazil's Runoff Vote
Brazil's presidential runoff is set for Sunday between incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, with final campaign rallies held Saturday as polls indicate a tight race. Lula, 80, who lost the first round by over 2.2 million votes, held a major rally on Sao Paulo's Paulista Avenue, while Bolsonaro, 45, campaigned in Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. Tens of thousands of supporters took to the streets to sway undecided voters. A Bolsonaro victory would align Brazil with other Latin American nations electing Trump allies, while a Lula win would distance the region's economic powerhouse from Washington. Nearly 160 million Brazilians are eligible to vote, with results expected within hours of polls closing.
