Bolsonaro's Son Picks Running Mate Who Investigated Lula's Son

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro picked Congressman Alfredo Gaspar as his running mate for Brazil's 2026 election. Gaspar led a probe into the national pension agency, where President Lula's son faces investigation over suspected improper payments. A poll shows Lula ahead 44–39 in a head-to-head vote. An analyst says Gaspar strengthens Bolsonaro's focus on pensions and crime.
