> Brazil’s presidential election has reshaped the political landscape, sending Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro, into a runoff after he won 47 percent of the vote ahead of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Lula represents the left and Bolsonaro the far right. Bolsonaro supporters also made major gains in Congress and the Senate, potentially making governing difficult for the winner.
