On Sunday, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was reelected for his fourth non-consecutive term.

Lula defeated Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the right-wing candidate and ally of Trump, by over 4 million votes.

Lula's victory is historic because it's the first time in Brazil's history of democratic elections that a candidate who lost the first-round election went on to win the second round.

And this is not the first time Lula has defeated a member of the Bolsonaro family for the presidency. In 2022, Lula defeated former president Jair Bolsonaro, Flávio's father.

BTW, Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year jail sentence under house arrest for planning a coup after losing the 2022 election.

MAGA enthusiasts are not very happy with this election, and many of them feel the results aren't valid because voting was extended by two hours per Lula's request (however, Bolsonaro also requested the extension).…
