Brazilian voters ended a series of seven conservative presidential wins in 18 months by electing Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with 51.8% of the vote, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro's 48.2%. This victory, just before Lula's 81st birthday, challenges US President Donald Trump's influence in the Western Hemisphere and positions Brazil as a counterbalance to Washington in Latin America.
