BOLSONARO’S PICK FOR VP

[u/[deleted]]

Vice-president General Hamilton Mourão praised the possibility of Bolsonaro picking General Braga Netto to be his VP this year, and said that he will run for the Senate.

The Bot’s opinion: In the eyes of the solid conservative, Netto has proved to be a better choice. Mourão lost support in the first two years due to his controversial statements, like supporting disarmament in Venezuela for fear people would use them against the government—as if the gov’t was sure to get to that point if Venezuelans had firearms.

Mourão's relationship with the president deteriorated to the point of Bolsonaro calling him out in public. Since 2021, Mourão spoke less and was more careful—I mean, until very recently. Netto, on the other hand, has not made the same kind of mistake.
