Reuters: In Brazil, a Bolsonaro family rift exposes the right's struggle with women voters
Her exit weakens Flavio Bolsonaro’s effort to court women voters, as a BTG Pactual/Nexus poll showed Lula ahead by 18 points among women.
- On Tuesday, Michelle Bolsonaro resigned as head of the Liberal Party's women's wing, citing disrespect from her stepson, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
- Michelle accused Flavio of having "disrespected" and "mistreated" her in a viral video released last week, describing his dismissal of her as a "stab in the back."
- Recent polling data from BTG Pactual/Nexus indicates President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva leads Senator Bolsonaro among women by 18 percentage points, 55% to 37%.
- To improve standing with female voters, Senator Bolsonaro is considering a female running mate, with economic adviser Daniella Marques emerging as a potential candidate.
- Despite wearing a "girl dad" T-shirt, Flavio must overcome alienation caused by President Jair Bolsonaro's controversial rhetoric to secure support among female voters ahead of October.
