The 2018 presidential campaign of Jair Bolsonaro was announced on 3 March 2016. Brazilian federal deputy and former military officer Jair Bolsonaro became the official nominee of the Social Liberal Party during their convention on 22 July 2018. The running mate decision came later on 8 August, when General Hamilton Mourão was chosen to compose the ticket with Bolsonaro. By choosing Mourão as running mate Bolsonaro secured a coalition with the Brazilian Labour Renewal Party.
Jair Bolsonaro was the first candidate for the presidency that was able to raise over a $1 million reais in donations from the public during the 2018 campaign. In the first 59 days, he amassed an average of $17,000 reais per day in donations.[3]
Bolsonaro was stabbed on 6 September while he was campaigning in Juiz de Fora. He recovered, and was the leading candidate in the first round on 7 October, with 46% of the vote.

Campaign background
During his campaign, Bolsonaro has praised the two-decade (1964-1985) military dictatorship in Brazil and promised to give police permission to shoot first and ask questions later.[7] His platform also promotes liberalizing gun laws and repressive tactics against urban criminality and drug trafficking, along with the advocation of rolling back affirmative action for black-Brazilians and reversing legislation which increases sentences for murdering women because of their gender (femicide).[8]
Some supporters of Bolsonaro have compared him to US President Donald Trump, and believe that he like Trump will bring radical change that they feel is needed in the "lawlessness" of Brazil, with many nicknaming Bolsonaro "the legend."[9] Steve Bannon (chief executive officer of Trump's 2016 presidential bid) has advised Bolsonaro's campaign.[10][11]

Polls
As of late September, Bolsonaro led the polls with 28% of polled voters, with an Ibope poll (22-24 September) stating that 36% of men surveyed said they would vote for him, while only 18% of women backing his policies.[7] A Datafolha poll released on 10 September showed that Bolsonaro was rejected by 49% of female voters, but supported by 17%.[8] In the first round of elections on 7 October, Bolsonaro received 46.03% of the vote, the most of any candidate.[63]
Attack during campaign event
Bolsonaro was stabbed on 6 September 2018 while campaigning and interacting with supporters in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais.[64] Bolsonaro's son, Flávio, has stated that his father's wounds were only superficial and he was recovering in hospital.[65] Police arrested and identified the attacker as Adelio Bispo de Oliveira, who claimed that he was "ordered by God to carry out the attack".[66] Flávio Bolsonaro later stated that the wounds inflicted seem worse than initially thought. He tweeted about his father's condition, explaining that the perforation reached part of the liver, the lung and part of the intestine. He also stated that Bolsonaro had lost a large amount of blood, arriving at the hospital with a pressure of 10/3, but had since stabilized.[67][68][64] Most of the other candidates in the presidential race (from both sides of the political spectrum), and the current Brazilian president, Michel Temer, condemned the attack.[69]
Protests and rallies
Protests
Hundreds of thousands of women across Brazil staged protests on September 29, against Bolsonaro's candidacy. One protestor told reporters "I'm part of a portion of society that is greatly affected by the types of things [Bolsonaro] says and thinks. This conservative wave, which has really always existed in Brazil, needs to come to an end."[70] Protestors in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia chanted "Ele Não (Not him!)" which has become a slogan to protest Bolsonaro, emphasizing that the groups aims are for the undecided voters to vote "for anyone else, but not him."[7] Many protestors have expressed outrage over past statements by Bolsonaro that homosexuality was equated with paedophilia, and that he once told Congresswoman Maria do Rosario that she didn’t deserve to be raped, citing these events as reasons to protest his campaign.[71]
Rallies
There were also rallies in support of the candidate in sixteen states.[72]
