Bolsonaro was deeply convinced he would come back from a first round loss to win the election and remained in shock once the outcome wasn’t what he expected.
on Sunday evening, the defeated President Jair Bolsonaro stayed home and said nothing.
This account is based on interviews with Bolsonaro allies and Brasilia insiders, who asked not to be named discussing private meetings. They paint the picture of a president who was deeply convinced he would come back from a first round loss to win the election and remained in shock once the outcome wasn’t what he expected.
Lower House speaker Arthur Lira, a supporter of the president, congratulated the leftist leader minutes after the results were announced. To diffuse a situation that was becoming increasingly alarming, senior members of Brazil’s political elite and judiciary came together to convince Bolsonaro to pull the country back from the brink of chaos. Congressional leaders, members of the supreme court and others reached out to members of Bolsonaro’s cabinet, including Economy Minister, Paulo Guedes, to urge the president to speak and calm the situation.
