MIAMI (AP) — Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Miami on Wednesday, after he refused to concede to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva then fled the country.

In a circuitous journey, Bolsonaro left for Argentina on Tuesday with his wife and two daughters, then traveled to Ecuador, according to Argentina officials and flight data. The 45-year-old senator and his family arrived in Florida a day after the Trump administration granted them United States visas. Bolsonaro, an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, visited the White House in May.

Bolsonaro’s father, Jair Bolsonaro, also fled to Florida after losing the 2022 presidential election to Lula before returning to Brazil three months later.

Flávio Bolsonaro is under investigation by Brazil’s Supreme Court, accused of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. The court had ordered him to hand over his regular and diplomatic passports by noon Tuesday. It remained unclear whether he had complied, but allies said late Tuesday he also has an Italian passport.

Bolsonaro lands in Miami

Argentina’s migration authority said Bolsonaro, his wife Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, and his daughters Carolina Figueira Bolsonaro and Luiza Figueira Bolsonaro crossed into the country at 10:50 p.m. Tuesday. They entered via the Tancredo Neves International Bridge, a primary border checkpoint linking Brazil to Argentina’s northeastern province of Misiones.

“Those who did so possessed valid travel documentation and faced no legal impediments to entering the country,” the Argentine migration authority said on X. The four boarded a private charter flight operated by aviation company Baires Fly S.A. at 11:30 p.m. local time, the authority said. According to the filed flight plan, the aircraft departed for Guayaquil, Ecuador.

His route via Argentina is almost certain to cause a diplomatic rift between Lula and Argentine President Javier Milei, a Trump ally who traveled to Brazil to take part in Bolsonaro’s campaign.

Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 showed a plane fitting the description of Bolsonaro’s landed in Guayaquil at about 4 a.m. local time, then took off minutes later for Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport.

The plane carrying Bolsonaro and his family landed in Miami at around 9:30 a.m. EDT.

Before they landed in Florida, Lula, who turned 81 on Tuesday, told dozens of supporters outside the presidential residence in Brasilia that he didn’t have precise information about Bolsonaro’s whereabouts, but said he had left Brazil.

“I regret that he left Brazil, because he could have stayed here and proven that the accusations are not true,” Lula said. “This act of leaving Brazil is shameful.”

Paulo Figueiredo, a close Bolsonaro ally who lives in the U.S., said in a short statement he couldn’t confirm information from foreign authorities, but that “Flávio Bolsonaro is well, in security and resting with his family.”

Figueiredo said there would be a press conference Thursday in Miami to discuss the case.

Representatives of Brazil’s government didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.

Trump rejects Brazilian election results

Trump said early Wednesday that he would approve of Bolsonaro coming to the U.S., calling him and his family “fine people.”

“The election was really strange, and I thought it was terrible,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, after returning from campaigning in Texas on Tuesday. He did not elaborate, but stressed that he didn’t endorse the election results.

Leaders all over the world and the Organization of American States endorsed the result and congratulated Lula, who was reelected by a margin of about 4.4 million votes in the second and final round.

On Tuesday, Milei’s administration spokesman Adrián Ravier said “there is no asylum request (from Bolsonaro) and there is nothing more to add.”

Bolsonaro visited his father, who is under house arrest, before leaving Brazil

The defeated candidate was served with a Supreme Court order to surrender his Brazilian passports Monday. In a video, he said he received it outside the home where his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, is serving a 27-year sentence under house arrest for attempting a coup following his 2022 election loss to Lula.

A Brazilian diplomat who was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly told The Associated Press that Bolsonaro used an Italian passport to enter Argentina and did not leave records in Brazilian check points, as they are not required to exit.

The diplomat said Brazil’s federal police were not monitoring Bolsonaro when he left his home in Brasilia as he did not have any warrant for arrest from the Supreme Court.

Flávio Bolsonaro said in a video Monday that he was attempting to organize opposition to the election results among his congressional colleagues. His eight-year term as a senator expires Jan. 31, 2027.

Brazil’s Supreme Court is investigating Bolsonaro for allegedly using a sports betting company to launder fraudulent deductions from government pensions paid to senior citizens. In a separate case, he is accused of accepting millions of dollars from a disgraced banker.

Senior U.S. State Department officials and President Donald Trump confirmed the administration would approve the visas, drawing sharp criticism from Brazilian officials who accused Washington of interfering.

When trump hands out visas he is not handing out visas to their best people. Some are criminals and I suppose some are good people.

Two election deniers thick as thieves.

I thought we were trying to deport criminals. Not import them

Communists stole the election and want to put their competitor in prison. Typical socialist behavior. The lawyer that filed the charges is a transy if that tells you anything.

It appears that all depends on who the criminals are. There may be en exemption for election deniers we are unaware of.

If you keep mentioning trans in your posts. The Dems are going to notice and turn you into a trans when they win.

You just told me a lot. A lot about you and not them.

Come on pit, you know he's trolling you. Nobody is that sick and disgusting. Not even the worst fake Christian or magtard

When they tell you who they are believe them. After what we've been witnessing in this country I wouldn't put anything past them. Especially not this one.

Even if he is trolling look at the depths he is willing to claim he stands for in order to accomplish it.

Look at what a scum bag he is willing to make himself appear to be just to "pwn the libs".

This is who they are now. This is a man who claims to be a Christian and have Christian values then displays that he has none. It has become their brand and I'm thrilled he is putting it out there for all to see.

A Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior, and seeks to follow his teachings in their daily life.

I'm not sure Jesus taught the slaughter of innocent women and children. Or hate speech. And I don't think he was big in judging others..... But what do I know. Maybe there's a vengeful, hateful, bile filled Jesus in one of the denominations?

Hate is actually accepting their behavior and not calling it out. If a child is running with a knife love is not accepting the behavior love is correction. Hate is accepting when someone is going to get hurt. Think about that!

So then would you say the same about a nations leader who wipes out civilian neighborhoods intentionally killing tens of thousands of innocent women and children?

Does that include defending a woman being assaulted by men instead of calling her names?

It seems you pick and choose what to hate and what not to hate.

And using the name of Christianity in order to make excuses for doing it is not attractive.

Hamas is to blame for all that has happened in Gaza.

Hamas didn't force Netanyahu to intentionally kill tens of thousands of women and children. Doing the very thing you say makes others terrorists only serves to make you a terrorist as well. Excuses to claim otherwise doesn't change that.

I cannot help your antisemitism.

I can not help that someone convinced you that calling out the political leader of Israel means someone is antisemitic. He didn't even get the votes of the majority of Israeli voters. They must be antisemitic too. Grow up.

Yes he did. he just did get the most votes. He just did not get enough votes to form a government. He now has to try to form alliances to get above 61 to form a government.

No he did not. I know this is difficult for you but majority means more than half. He did not get more than half of the votes. He got well above the majority of the vote in the last election and much less than the majority of the vote in this election.

Latest numbers: Recent projections have Netanyahu’s bloc taking 53 seats, a drop from the 68-seat coalition he led in the outgoing Knesset. The opposition bloc is set to take 48 seats, while Arab parties are projected to win a record 19 seats.

Netanyahu only got 53 seats. Far less than half and 15 less than in the last election. I bet you didn't even know there were Arab parties in Israel did you? That leaves 67 seats that he lost total. That's more than half that refused to vote for Netanyahu.

Who will actually rule Israel will be decided by which of the two top candidates those Arab parties decide to align with. So it's the Arab parties that will decide who rules Israel. Ironic isn't it?

It took a lot longer than I expected for someone to default to the "anything less than total capitulation to Netanyahu = antisemitism" argument. It's a weak counter that only gets used as a sorta trump card when the facts are clearly leading to a lost argument.

This leader oversaw policy that resulted in decades of widespread famine in Gaza prior to 2023, and then responded to the Hamas attacks with his own attacks that have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and further deteriorated public health with additional blockades. Conveniently ignoring the decades of history before the 2023 attacks as well as the response that was orders of magnitude larger than the primary attack just to try to justify Israel's part in the conflict is wild stuff.

You must have missed it. He's been claiming that if you don't support everything Netanyahu does including starving children and slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent women and children that you are antisemitic for a long time now. But is it really much different than claiming everyone who does not support trump is anti American? Because that too seems to have caught on.

Supporting terrorists over a sovereign country is antisemitic and sick. Choosing to vote against Netanyahu or Trump is not Antisemitic or anti-American. Choose to vote for Socialists and Muslims... is antisemitic and anti-American. Muslims are a scourge on the Earth and will only bring death and destruction wherever they go. They are all of their father and all he does is steal, kill, and destroy. Socialist in the Globalist movement is trying to gain power and they need the United States to fall to gain that power and once they do, they will do what always happens socialist turn into full blown communists and people's freedoms are taken from them.

You sound like you are campaigning against FDR. You sound like Senator Joe McCarthy.

Should I say all Christians are white nationalists because a portion of Christians are? Should I say they are all racist because the Klan is Christian? Let me tell you something. Not all trump supporters are Nazis but all Nazis in this country are trump supporters. According to your logic that must make you a Nazi too.

I don't support any leader of any nation intentionally killing innocent women and children or non combatants. I don't support any religious group killing innocent civilians. That's means I condemn both Hamas and Netanyahu for their actions. You pick and choose when it's okay to do so based on their religion. My issue is not with the people of Israel. My issue is with Netanyahu. Just like all Christians are not white supremacists, not all Muslims are violent extremists.

I'm sorry you have been so brainwashed you can't wrap your mind around that simple concept.

I don't like trump either and that doesn't mean I'm anti American.

It would be hard to write a more ignorant, hateful and racist statement. You are one sick individual.

Give him a day or two. It only gets worse with the passage of time.

Nothing hateful or racist. I said nothing about a person's race. Their beliefs yes. Not their race.

I do not see anything wrong with being a Christian Nationalist, I love Christ and I love my Country. I will not apologize for my faith and love of Country.

That helps explain a lot........

Not a fan of quoting rando idiots for any reason. Whether they are idiots on the left or right.


As for making disgusting untrue comments about an entire religion or group of people.... It is the definition of racism.

Again, I love Christ and I love my Country. I have no idea if those in your videos do or not. Maybe they need a different term but a Christian who loves their Country is not a bad thing. It is the basis this Country was founded on.

This is what it looks like when the gullible take things as their names present them to be instead of what they are.

I am a Christian that does not believe this nation should be controlled strictly according to my religious beliefs. I'm a Christian who does not believe the laws in this country should inflict my religious beliefs on others. I'm a Christian who does not believe an entire religion such as Muslims are all evil based on the most extreme portion of their religion. If I thought in those terms I would feel the same way about Christians and I do not.

I'm a Christian that believes this country is ruled by the constitution and not my religion. I'm not "your kind of Christian".

Did I hurt your feelings with the truth!!!

No. You have no power over me or anyone else dummy. But you are a racist sick little puppy. And after that statement I can say it factually and loudly whenever I want.

Name calling!!!! So sophisticated of you! You get your little bleeding-heart feelings all hurt because someone calls out evil in our world. I am not a progressive that accepts evil and will call it out when I see it.
