Biden Supports Brazil’s New Left Wing President – WHY?

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known more familiarly as Lula, has been declared the winner of the Brazilian presidential election, narrowly edging out incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. And as soon as the election results were announced, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement congratulating Lula on his victory – this despite the fact that Lula is generally known as a Bernie Sanders-type leftist, hostile to big corporations and concerned about the poor. Which, frankly, Biden is not.

Jimmy and his panel of Convo Couch host Craig Pasta and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the results of the election and whether Lula is likely to live up to the populist hype.
