Brazilian voters head to the polls this weekend to pick their next head of state, with a choice between right-wing incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, or Lula, a former union leader from the country's left-wing Workers' Party and past president of Brazil.
After a tumultuous first term, Bolsonaro, commonly referred to in the media as the "Trump of the tropics," faces an uphill battle for reelection — with major implications for the Amazon rainforest and climate policy worldwide.
