Bolsonaro’s quest to find a VP

President Jair Bolsonaro is having trouble finding a running mate for his reelection campaign. The president needs to cater to strategic electoral groups, such as Evangelical Christians and agribusiness — but he also needs to choose someone that won’t seek to usurp his power. Editor-in-chief Gustavo Ribeiro and Brasilia correspondent André Spigariol discuss the possible choices for Bolsonaro, as well as how his VP pick will affect the upcoming elections.
