SUMMARY:Brazil's 2026 Elections: Looking Ahead to October
DESCRIPTION:<p><span>In October, 120 million Brazilians will choose a president, members of Congress, and state governors. What is at stake? Will Lula da Silva win a fourth term in the Planalto, or will voters hand power back to Jair Bolsonaro, whose son Flávio is running for president while his father is imprisoned for seeking to overthrow Brazil's democracy? How might congressional races reshape Brazil’s balance of power, including relations with the judiciary? And what roles will corruption scandals, the spread of AI, and the evolving direction of U.S. policy play in the campaign? Bringing together experts from political science and public opinion, this panel will consider the forces shaping Brazil’s 2026 elections and what the results could mean for the country's democracy.</span></p><p><em>Special thanks to Aaron Watanabe, Ph.D. Student in Government, for his role in organizing this event.</em></p>
