Michelle Bolsonaro is one of the options to represent Bolsonarism in 2026
Michelle Bolsonaro will work with evangelicals to grow electorally and be the representative of Bolsonarism in 2026. The former first lady received her husband’s endorsement to try to make her candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic viable, despite knowing that Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) prefers Governor Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP).
Michelle learned that agribusiness and Faria Lima businessmen do not have any confidence in her and warned that, if she is the representative of the extreme right in 2026, they will not support the group, opting for another name.
The former first lady is also aware that her husband prefers Tarcísio de Freitas’s candidacy to the Presidency if he cannot actually run in 2026. Bolsonaro is ineligible for the next eight years due to a conviction in the Electoral Court for abuse of economic power and misuse of state media.
Despite resistance from businessmen and her own husband, Michelle wants to try to make her candidacy for the Presidency viable. The commander of PL Mulher was convinced by Valdemar Costa Neto, national president of the PL, that she has the charisma and ability to run in a presidential election and, if she wins, manage Brazil.
Her biggest concern was displeasing her husband. The former president publicly declared that he was surprised by his wife’s articulation. Internally, he authorized her to work to try to run in 2026 for the position she wants.
For allies, the reserve captain believes it is necessary to have options to choose who should represent Bolsonarism against the PT. That’s why he wants to follow Michelle’s development closely.
To win the arm wrestling match against Tarcísio and Romeu Zema (Novo), governor of Minas Gerais, Michelle will bet her chips on the evangelical electorate.
She wants to maintain a good relationship with religious leaders in order to have the support of the group in 2025, when Bolsonaro and his allies decide who will represent Bolsonarism for the Presidency.
The former first lady even suggested to Valdemar that a pastor be the deputy of an eventual ticket headed by her. The president of the PL liked the idea, but asked her not to speak publicly on the subject, because there is a lot of time to make a final decision.
