How Lula Beat Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil's Historic Runoff Election

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won a historic fourth term as Brazil's president, defeating far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro with 51.79% of the vote to his rival's 48.21%. Lula becomes the first candidate to win a runoff election after losing the first round, marking a dramatic political comeback for the former president. The victory bucks a regional trend, as Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, had spearheaded a radical populist movement. However, with Flávio Bolsonaro refusing to concede defeat, uncertainty looms over the transition of power. Latin America correspondent Tom Phillips discusses the implications with Michael Safi. As Brazil braces for potential unrest, the world watches to see whether Lula can unite a deeply divided nation and steer Latin America's largest economy toward stability.
