With just 2 weeks until Brazil's election, right-wing Flavio Bolsonaro has officially passed leftist Lula to become the favorite…
🔴 Bolsonaro: 58%
🔵 Lula: 42%
Would shift the largest economy in LatAm away from China and toward the US.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday for a first chat between two of the biggest names of the political left in the Americas ahead of key elections in both Brazil and the United States.
Lula is in the US for the United Nations General Assembly and received Mamdani in an Upper East Side house that serves as the residence and office of the Brazilian representation to the UN.
Lula said in a brief declaration to reporters after the meeting that the two talked about problems that are common to both countries, particularly the rising cost of living.
Mamdani said he would take inspiration from the Brazilian, who had implemented social programs for the poor in Brazil, as he seeks to improve conditions for New Yorkers facing financial pressure for things like.groceries and rent.
Lula is running for a fourth non-consecutive mandate as Brazil's president with the first round of the vote taking place on October 4. Most polls show him tied with right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of the former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of US President Donald Trump.
Mamdani has been a central figure in the Democratic Party in the US as the country heads to a key mid-term election in November that could change the Congress composition towards a larger representation for the Democrats.

I’m convinced Mamdani was sent to America as a WEF/globaist 5th columnist agent, to stir up trouble.

LOL!
The “. . . problems that are common to both . . .” are that they are Communists!
That means Bolsonaro better be sure all members of his security team are on his side, and not supporters of Lula.
No one should be beyond reproach or the need of verification, including family members.
