PT Vice President Washington Quaquá Invites Influencer Chico Moedas to Run in 2026

Overview

• Quaquá announced the invitation on social media on Sunday, reiterating that the move is serious and not a joke.
• The approach followed a late-October Três Irmãos Podcast episode with Jones Manoel, who joked that Quaquá should recruit Chico after he said he had never been courted for office.
• Quaquá had already shared a clip of the podcast on November 5 and invited Chico and Jones to visit Maricá, praising them as young people with their hearts in the right place.
• Chico has amplified the exchange online, calling it a pleasure to meet Jones and referring to him as “my future president,” but he has not announced a run.
• Jones Manoel has roughly 1.7 million Instagram followers and Chico about 2.1 million, underscoring the PT’s interest in high-reach voices from leftist and crypto‑entertainment circles.
