The Hill
What the coverage shows
All outlets agree that Brazil’s election is heading to a runoff after neither candidate cleared a majority, and most name Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro as the contenders. Washington Post, CBS News, BBC, NPR and Al Jazeera keep the coverage centered on the runoff itself, while South China Morning Post and Democracy Now! add emphasis on broader political implications, with Democracy Now! alone noting gains for the right in Congress. Channel 4 News is the only one to frame Flávio Bolsonaro as having beaten Lula in the first round.
