So, Brazilian friends, what's your opinion on what the runoff is looking like, with Lula getting 48 percent of the general election vote, Bolsonaro getting 43% of the vote? It doesn't sound like people expected Bolsonaro to do as well in the general election as he did.

Highly concerned, but trying to stay optimistic. It seemed throughout their campaign that Ciro Gomes and Simone Tebet were siding with Bolsonaro, but Ciro has now asked people to vote for Lula and it seems Simone might follow. So maybe there is hope after all. Lula only needs less than 2% more votes so maybe it will be fine.

I'm trying to stay optimistic as well. Good luck to Brazil... and the rest of us.
