In an echo of the Cold War, right-wing presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro flees to exile in Miami with his family after losing to Lula. He defies a Brazilian court order to surrender his passport, proclaims himself the nation’s true leader, and thanks Trump for the warm welcome amid political upheaval. He vows to lead the opposition from exile but risks a power vacuum, weakens his own movement, and intensifies tensions between Trump’s Washington and Lula’s Brasília.

Voting has begun in the US midterm elections. With 8 days left until Nov. 3rd, Democrats are heavy favorites for the House (85–95% across models, projecting 230 seats) and slight favorites for the Senate (55–75%). A generic-ballot lead of roughly 8–11 points and Trump’s 37% approval create a Democratic-leaning environment. Republicans currently hold narrow majorities (House 218–214, Senate 53–47); races in Maine, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, and Alaska are decisive.
