On October 14, 2026, Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, attended the Latino Wall Street-organized Hispanic Heritage Gala in Washington, DC. The gala, which honored Argentine far-right president Javier Milei, attracted conservative businesspeople, digital influencers, and U.S. government officials.
Eduardo, who has moved to the United States since early 2025, is poised to become Brazil's next foreign minister if his brother Flávio wins the presidency. Eduardo, despite facing legal troubles, including a warrant for his arrest and a prison sentence for interfering with his father's criminal case, remains a star in the MAGA world.
During the gala, Milei hugged Eduardo and declared, "We're going to kick out the communist dictator in Brazil and we'll paint the continent blue." Flávio Bolsonaro, who came out ahead of incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round of voting, is expected to secure a victory in the runoff on October 25, potentially bringing Brazil back into the fold of populist right-wing leaders aligned with Trump.
Eduardo has courted the White House to impose tariffs on Brazil and sanctions on judicial authorities, emphasizing his father's freedom. The event showcased a celebratory atmosphere, with attendees paying between $3,000 and $10,000 for the privilege of attending, and a strong emphasis on getting rid of crime and defeating socialism.
