Story summary

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the United States on October 27, 2026, just days after losing the election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Despite a court order barring him from leaving Brazil and surrendering his passports, Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday morning with his family. The U.S. State Department announced it would issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family, facilitating their entry into the country. Bolsonaro is under investigation for alleged corruption and money laundering, and he had been a close ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump. His departure from Brazil came after he refused to concede the election results and cited irregularities in voting hours.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
