Two articles frame Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s reported victory over Flávio Bolsonaro as a warning for American politics. One focuses on Bolsonaro’s reported departure from Brazil, while the other emphasizes Lula’s victory and its celebration by progressives.

Both articles describe Lula as the winner over Flávio Bolsonaro, with one reporting a margin of more than 4 million votes.
One account says Bolsonaro entered the election as the favorite, finished ahead of Lula in the first round, and then lost the runoff; it qualifies the reported margin by saying “if the reporting is accurate.”
The other account describes Lula as a left-wing incumbent who won an unprecedented fourth term and says progressives celebrated the result as a victory for democracy.
