Summary

Brazil’s Supreme Court extended voting as complaints about a lack of buses and ferries marred the election, the Financial Times reports. The contest pits incumbent leftist Lula against rightwing challenger Bolsonaro, who is seeking to oust him and bring the country closer to Donald Trump, according to the Financial Times. The Hindu reported that the candidates struck a calmer tone in their final debate and that the result could either keep Brazil a left-wing stronghold or align it with a regional shift to the right. This follows earlier reports that Brazil’s Congress had shifted further right regardless of who won the presidential runoff.
