Overview

• Ciro Nogueira told GloboNews that Tarcísio de Freitas would be a presidential candidate in 2026 only with Jair Bolsonaro’s support and said Tarcísio would not betray the former president.
• He argued the right should unify against the PT and President Lula, calling recent internal disputes a waste of time.
• Nogueira said that with a unified field Tarcísio would be elected with ease and cited his own polling claims about Tarcísio’s low rejection and name recognition.
• One day earlier, Tarcísio visited Bolsonaro in Brasília under authorization from Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes, with Bolsonaro under house arrest since August 4.
• After the visit, Tarcísio voiced support for amnesty for January 8 participants, denied discussing the issue during the meeting, and reiterated he intends to seek re‑election as São Paulo governor.
