First Thing: Brazil re-elects Lula in comeback rebuke for Bolsonaro and far right

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a historic fourth term as Brazil's president, defeating far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro by 4 million votes in a runoff election. Lula became the first candidate to reverse a first-round defeat, aided by student-led organizing. Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has refused to concede and requested the results be annulled. This victory follows accusations that U.S.-based tech companies suppressed Lula's online reach to favor his Trump-aligned opponent.
