PoliticsComeback kid: How Brazil’s veteran leader Lula upset Bolsonaro

Two days before his 81st birthday, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva emerged as a comeback victor after a bitter campaign in which he often appeared to show his age. He became the first candidate since Brazil returned to democracy in the 1980s to win the presidential runoff after trailing in the first round, turning a 2.2 million-vote deficit against far-right Flavio Bolsonaro into a 4.4 million-vote lead.
