What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Flávio Bolsonaro’s arrival in Miami and describe him as having left Brazil after losing the election, with several noting a route via Argentina and Ecuador. The New York Times, CBS News, France 24 and the BBC also foreground the passport or legal-investigation angle, while The Guardian US and South China Morning Post emphasize Bolsonaro’s own claim to be the rightful or true president. Axios, Breaking Points and several others instead frame the broader election result or concession fight, and only some extracts mention U.S. visas.
