Overview
- Carlos Bolsonaro confirmed his pre-candidacy for the Senate in Santa Catarina and said he will relocate to the state.
- A Neokemp/Gazeta do Povo poll shows Carlos trailing fellow PL deputy Caroline de Toni, even as he promotes a PL-only slate and says no one will displace anyone on the ticket.
- Carlos’s entry unsettles the PL–PP arrangement built around Governor Jorginho Mello and Senator Esperidião Amin, with De Toni exploring a path via the Novo party to preserve a Senate run.
- PL figures in Mato Grosso publicly invited Carlos to run there, though the state party is assembling its own ‘puro-sangue’ options and faces a crowded conservative field.
- Flávio Bolsonaro posted a photo declaring he and Tarcísio de Freitas will be together with Jair Bolsonaro in any scenario, as Eduardo Bolsonaro amplified messages favoring a Flávio bid and a separate survey ranked Tarcísio the top right-wing prospect among parliamentarians.
