TEHRAN — Brazilians re-elected Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Sunday, October 25, giving the 80-year-old leftist a fourth term and the Trump administration its most consequential defeat in the Western Hemisphere. Lula took 51.8 percent to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro’s 48.2, a lead of more than 4 million votes, three weeks after trailing by 2.2 million. No one had ever won Brazil’s presidency after finishing second in the first round.
