Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani lead the global left in cheering Lula's comeback victory over Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazil

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a second term as Brazil's president in Sunday's runoff, defeating conservative Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a result that triggered swift legal action against the losing candidate. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes moved within minutes of the victory being confirmed to order Bolsonaro to surrender his passport, but the senator had already departed for the United States before the order could be enforced.

Brazil's stock market dropped sharply on the result, with inflation already outpacing wage growth during Lula's current term.
