On October 29, Hudson Institute hosted a panel to discuss the results of the October 28 elections in Brazil. In particular, panelists considered the two presidential candidates: Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist with the nickname “Trump of the Tropics,” who won the election; and Fernando Haddad, who represented the left-wing Workers’ Party. The discussion also considered how this election factors into the current wave of populism in Latin American politics and other parts of the world.
