What the coverage shows

The outlets converge on Bolsonaro’s arrival in Miami after leaving Brazil, and most frame it as a defeat-related departure followed by U.S. entry. AP, CBS, the Guardian, France 24 and the New York Times all note the visa or passport angle, while BBC, France 24 and BBC Verify focus more on tracing his route through Argentina and Ecuador. Sky News is alone in foregrounding Bolsonaro’s claim that he is still the "true elected president," and Breaking Points alone turns it into a Trump-assisted covert operation.
