In a week leading up to Brazil's presidential runoff, incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his challenger Flávio Bolsonaro will meet in their first-ever televised debate. The 45-year-old Bolsonaro, son of the former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, surprisingly came in first place in the first round with 47 percent of the vote, while the 80-year-old Lula received 45 percent. The debate, scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at 8 PM local time, will allow the candidates to directly contrast their visions for the country and may influence the close race.
