Jair Bolsonaro's hopes of reclaiming Brazil's presidency in 2026 may be all but dead. Yet that doesn't mean there won't be a Bolsonaro running in three years' time
Bolsonaro's political career, barring the far-right nationalist from public office until 2030 for spreading baseless claims about the country's voting system in last year's election.
He has previously suggested that once "out of the game" he could become a political king-maker. But many of his ex-allies are already pinning their 2026 hopes on newer faces like Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio Freitas and Minas Gerais Governor Romeu Zema.Michelle Bolsonaro is a political newcomer. But her profile rose during the 2022 campaign, when she became an increasingly visible figure at Bolsonaro events as he struggled to appeal to female voters.
William Douglas, an Evangelical federal appeals court judge who was among names mooted for Bolsonaro's pick for the Supreme Court in 2021, said Michelle held appeal for some voters. And she is not the only Bolsonaro with a shot at Brazil's top job. Two of Bolsonaro's sons from a previous marriage are federal lawmakers. They may harbor their own presidential ambitions, although neither has announced a run.
