Coverage diverges: Coverage is split: right-leaning sources emphasize Trump's role in offering an exit, while centre-left sources frame it as fleeing after an election defeat, and some include Bolsonaro's claim of being the rightful leader.

What it means

Brazilian senator and defeated presidential candidate Flávio (son of former president Jair Bolsonaro) has fled Brazil after losing the presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, following an offer by US President Donald Trump to grant him and his family entry to the US. He landed in Miami on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with assistance from Argentine President Javier Milei.

Accuracy & sourcesSourced

The claim is solid; multiple reputable outlets (Reuters, BBC, NYT, ABC News) report the same event with video and photographic evidence. The reporting sits close to the primary source—Reuters images and video of the landing—and all accounts consistently name Trump's offer and Milei's assistance.
