How Far-Right Presidential Candidate Jair Bolsonaro Could Transform Brazil

Far-right populist Jair Bolsonaro is poised to become Brazil's next president on Sunday.

Bolsonaro has spent decades on the fringes of Brazilian politics as a congressman for Rio de Janeiro state, but his popularity has surged in 2018; he has led the presidential race since he announced his candidacy for the tiny Social Liberal Party in July and fell just short of the absolute majority he needed to take the presidency in the first round of voting on Oct. 7.
