Flávio Bolsonaro’s defeat is a major blow to Trump and his orange wave
Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of Brazil’s former president, lost the Rio de Janeiro Senate race, dealing a setback to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to rally support among Latin American far‑right allies. Bolsonaro’s defeat highlights Brazilian voters’ rejection of the candidate his party backed, undermining Trump’s broader strategy to expand his influence in the region.
