Defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Miami after fleeing Brazil, per LATimes. The departure follows Lula's election victory and Bolsonaro's contested loss.

Brazil summoned Argentine diplomats over their role in facilitating the flight, spokesmen say, as tensions rise during the political transition period, Reuters reports.

Bolsonaro's exit has sparked viral memes across Brazilian social media, with many mocking his departure, while Lula’s team seeks to capitalize on the political shift, per Reuters.

The family's arrival in the US has drawn attention from international observers, who are watching how this development may affect diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States.
