RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – President Jair Bolsonaro told Folha de S.Paulo that the governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), has no chance in the 2022 presidential elections because his campaign is a “premature ejaculation”.

According to Bolsonaro, Doria should think “maybe” only about the 2026 elections. “He doesn’t have popular support,” he said on Tuesday, September 3rd, at a breakfast with Folha de S.Paulo journalists at the Alvorada Palace.

Bolsonaro said he’s willing to run for reelection. “Yes, I do, if I’m okay there,” he said. On Saturday, August 31st in a conversation with journalists, the president said that Doria is “dead” by 2022. Two days earlier, he accused the PSDB politician of having “sucked on the tits of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES)” in the PT government, in reference to the purchase of a jet at subsidized interest from the bank.
