News Summary at 2:07 a.m. EDT
Brazil’s election outcome was declared in favor of incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who defeated Flavio Bolsonaro by nearly 4.4 million votes, after a chaotic delay in polling hours ordered by a Supreme Court justice. Both campaigns asked to keep polls open longer due to issues with public transportation and bad weather, but it’s unclear how many votes were cast during the extended period. Bolsonaro refused to concede and called the extension unprecedented, seeking annulment of results. Elsewhere, AP reports that a new political fight could determine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s future, while Trump escalated anti-Muslim rhetoric against Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Attorney General Todd Blanche defended an Alaska lawsuit to block certification if Dan Sullivan loses.
