Voters in Brazil on Sunday will choose between two larger-than-life, populist candidates in a presidential race that is widely seen as the nation’s — and Latin America’s — most important election in decades.
Who are the candidates, and why is the future of Brazilian democracy also on the ballot?
Guest: Jack Nicas (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jack-nicas?smid=pc-thedaily), the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:

For the past decade, Brazil has lurched from one crisis to the next. Brazilians will decide between two men (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/30/world/americas/brazil-election-bolsonaro-lula.html) who are deeply tied to its tumultuous past.
