Brazil’s Bolsonaro, Lula hold final debate before vote

Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and leftist former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were in attack mode Friday night in a final face-to-face showdown before Sunday’s runoff presidential election.

The candidates traded barbs and sparred on everything from the coronavirus pandemic to corruption.
