Lula beats Bolsonaro in Brazil runoff: What does it mean for Donald Trump?

Lula defeated on Sunday (October 25) Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazil’s presidential election. But rather than conceding, Bolsonaro called for the result to be annulled. As the US midterms approach, the result raises questions about Trump’s influence and how his political allies respond when voters reject them. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor, Douglas Herbert, gives us his analysis.
