Bolsonaro’s eldest son touts father’s backing for Brazil presidency in 2026

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said on Friday that his father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has signaled he will back a presidential run next year by his eldest son.
The senator wrote on X that his father had chosen him for “the mission of carrying on our project for the nation.”
The head of Bolsonaro’s right-wing Liberal Party, Valdemar Costa Neto, told Reuters he had learned from the senator that the former president had “ratified his candidacy.”
