  "account": "Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been re-elected for a fourth nonconsecutive term, defeating right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in a run-off election. Despite both candidates requesting additional voting time, Bolsonaro has called for Sunday's vote to be annulled over a \"unacceptable\" two-hour extension granted by Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin.\n\nWorld leaders have reacted to Lula's victory. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum congratulated Lula on X, writing \"Long live democracy, the people of Brazil won.\" Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney credited Lula with advancing relations between Canada and Brazil, stating that they should \"seize this opportunity to strengthen them further, together.\" US President Donald Trump Jr. criticized the result, suggesting that a conservative government in Brazil doing the same would have faced different reactions from the American press. Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders congratulated Lula's \"extraordinary re-election victory\" and said the Brazilian president will continue to stand up for workers and democracy for the next four years. Congressman Ro Khanna praised Lula's victory, saying it demonstrates global resistance against extremism and urged Trump to respect the election results. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on X, \"The people united will never be defeated!\"",
