Bolsonaro's Endorsement of Son Divides Brazil's Right

Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has endorsed his son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, to run for president in 2026.

This decision has caused some confusion and division among Bolsonaro's allies and the right-wing coalition.

Many people thought Bolsonaro would support a more experienced candidate, like Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas.

The news made financial markets nervous.

Polls show that Flavio Bolsonaro is behind President Lula da Silva by a lot.

Some people think that the right-wing needs to unite to have a good chance of winning the election.

There are also other candidates who might run, like Renan Santos, who is part of a group that used to support Bolsonaro but now has some different ideas.
