Lula and Bolsonaro rally supporters on eve of Brazil's tight runoff vote

Tens of thousands of supporters rallied for President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and rival Flavio Bolsonaro on Saturday, the eve of Brazil's tight presidential runoff election, reflecting deep national polarization. Lula, 80, led a massive red-clad rally on Copacabana beach, while Bolsonaro gathered hundreds of bikers in Belo Horizonte. The candidates are tied at 50 percent in polls, following Bolsonaro's shock first-round lead of 47 percent to Lula's 45 percent. The election will determine if Brazil remains leftist or shifts right, with Bolsonaro promising prison expansion and spending cuts. Many voters expressed alienation, with one calling it a choice between "the lesser evil" and "the horrible."
