Brazil's Northeast Sees Political Shift in Elections

The 2024 electoral landscape in both Brazil and the United States is marked by significant shifts. In Brazil's Northeast region, there has been a notable rise of right-wing candidates, challenging the historical dominance of President Lula's leftist party, with the right winning control of most capitals in the region. Meanwhile, in the U.S., both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are vying for Latino voters, a crucial demographic that could sway the presidential election, particularly in key states like Colorado. Immigration is a contentious issue for both candidates, with Trump advocating for aggressive deportation measures and Harris promoting comprehensive reform. Economic concerns dominate the electoral dialogue, with 81% of voters prioritizing the economy, while immigration has gained prominence among Republican voters. Additionally, nearly 3.5 million new citizens since the 2020 election may influence voter turnout and preferences in the upcoming elections.
