Overview
- Tarcísio de Freitas appears in the shared clip criticizing federal spending, saying the country is spending too much and prosperity requires a leaner state.
- Hours before the post, a Meio/Ideia survey found a technical tie in a potential runoff with Lula at 44.4% and Tarcísio at 42.1%, margin of error 2.2 points, based on 2,000 telephone interviews from Jan. 8–12 and registered as TSE BR-06731/2026.
- Valor Econômico and O Globo reported that Michelle visited Jair Bolsonaro at the Federal Police superintendency in Brasília earlier the same day.
- Senator Flávio Bolsonaro reaffirmed he is the family’s chosen pre-candidate and said Tarcísio has already decided to back him, while calling for allies not to pressure the governor.
- Tarcísio must decide by early April whether to seek re-election in São Paulo or resign to run for president, as prior market and Centrão preference for him has been complicated by Flávio’s bid and reported doubts about Flávio’s viability.
