“In a stunning political comeback, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been elected president of Brazil, according to official results from Sunday’s runoff election, with more than 96% of the votes counted. Lula secured more than 51% of the vote, defeating Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, who received more than 48%.” Brazil rejected Trump’s favored candidate. But this could be a harbingerish headline. Lula is declared winner of Brazil’s election as Bolsonaro rejects results.

The long-ruling authoritarian leader on Sunday conceded the defeat of his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party to a grassroots movement of university students in a parliamentary election. The students had led protests for almost two years before unseating him in a historic change of government.” This is a massive election week. Bolsonaro and Vucic went down. Are Bibi and MAGA next?
