Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro Trade Attacks as Brazil's Presidential Campaign Heats Up

Brazil's presidential campaign has intensified as President Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro exchange accusations. Flávio blamed Lula for rising household debt, saying the president let betting run loose, while his defense asked Supreme Court Justice André Mendonça to open an inquiry into a whiskey gift to Lula from businessman Vorcaro. Lula's campaign is distributing weight-loss pens through the public health system and has dropped his trademark hat and jacket in a new TV program aimed at recovering lost ground. Meanwhile, Justice Luiz Fux pressed the Senate for visitor records involving Moraes's wife, Vorcaro, Frei Chico and Lula's son, and Record canceled a first-round presidential debate after both candidates declined to attend.
