> Brazil’s October presidential election is again taking shape as a contest between the Lula and Bolsonaro camps. Incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is seeking a fourth term, while Flávio Bolsonaro has stepped in for his imprisoned father. The frontrunners are close in polling: Lula stresses Brazil’s sovereignty amid tensions with Washington, while Flávio draws on his family’s far-right base and links to Donald Trump.
