How did the Workers Party leader turn a 2-point-2 million vote deficit against the far-right's Flávio Bolsonaro into a 4-point-4 million vote win? Reminder that three short weeks ago, most races at the federal and state level broke the way of conservatives and the far-right? More broadly, how did Lula break the right’s winning streak in the Americas?

Each case is of course different. So what can Lula's Brazil teach us?
