AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made history on Sunday, setting a record for Brazil and the rest of Latin America by becoming the first president to win a fourth term – and he did so days before turning 81, an age when many other leaders decide to leave politics behind.
The Brazilian president's remarkable comeback against his right-wing rival, Flávio Bolsonaro, also set another record. Since Brazil's return to democracy in 1985, no president has managed to overturn a first-round defeat. The Workers' Party candidate added more than 10 million votes in the three weeks between the two rounds of voting, while his rival gained just 3.6 million.
