Story summary

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on October 27, 2026, despite losing the election and facing corruption charges at home. A senior State Department official confirmed that the U.S. will issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family as he fled Brazil after failing to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports within 24 hours. Bolsonaro's brother Eduardo met him upon arrival in Florida, though details of his exact route out of Brazil remain unclear. President Donald Trump publicly approved Bolsonaro’s move to the U.S., stating, “I think they’re fine people” and commenting on how "strange" he found the election.
