Brazil Unfiltered (Electoral Season Ep. 7) – Brazil 2026 Election Live Observer

Brazil's 2026 first round, analyzed live as the votes came in. Over three and a half hours on election night, The Brazilian Report and the Washington Brazil Office followed the presidential count between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro, the Senate races that could reshape the balance of power with the Supreme Court, and the governor's races in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and beyond. Our guests discussed how far the polls strayed from the count, why turnout fell, how the Banco Master scandal and the Supreme Court dominated the campaign, what U.S. interference could look like before and after the October 25 runoff, and how social media shaped voters' choices. Join us again on October 25 for live coverage of the runoff.
