On the run in the United States, Flavio Bolsonaro claims to be the "leader" of Brazil

Flavio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator, claims to be the true leader of Brazil after losing the presidential election to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He alleges electoral fraud and plans to lead the opposition from the U.S., where he fled following his defeat. Bolsonaro criticized the election results, asserting that Lula's significant vote increase was mathematically impossible. He described his situation as a witch hunt amid ongoing investigations into corruption. Bolsonaro thanked U.S. and Argentine leaders for their support during his escape, while Lula condemned his departure as shameful, emphasizing Bolsonaro's loyalty to the U.S.
