A White House adviser revealed that a strategic decision influenced the uncharacteristic silence as Flávio Bolsonaro emerges as a frontrunner for Brazil’s presidency.
On October 5th, 2026, at 6:40 p.m. EDT, observers noted the careful approach taken by Bolsonaro’s camp during the ongoing election. A notable figure in this context is a giant balloon depicting U.S. President Donald Trump, prominent at Sao Paulo’s Independence Day parade on September 7th.
Flávio Bolsonaro’s team visited the White House in May to solidify their plans. Despite his close ties with President Trump, including a political alliance and family friendship, Bolsonaro decided not to seek Trump’s endorsement for his campaign.
