In the wake of the most severe recession in Brazilian history and a corruption scandal, Brazilians will vote for their new president on October 7. Thus far, the election has been unlike any other, with one pro-capitalist candidate as the frontrunner who has been deemed the “Trump of Brazil,” running against several socialists.
To make matters worse, the “Trump of Brazil,” Jair Bolsonaro, was stabbed in the street at an event a couple of weeks ago. He is recovering in the hospital and continuing his campaigning through surrogates and social media. Despite this, thousands continue to amass in the street to support him at a time when the future of Brazil hangs on the election.
