Right at the start of coverage of the 2022 election, William Bonner announced an earlier phone call with his colleague Renata Lo Prete. The two show every minute the votes for each candidate, both Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Jair Bolsonaro (PL), as well as for governor and Senate candidates. The information surprised many people.

With intense programming on the 2022 election, Globo expanded Sunday programming to focus on coverage, which aired at 5 p.m. Like other broadcasters, the dispute between Lula and Bolsonaro this Sunday (02) occupied most of the other broadcasters in the country. The competition promises to be exciting and the TV journalists are busy with the numbers in real time.
And right at the entrance, William Bonner warned that he would be doing the program alongside Lo Prete and already made it a point to share a secret from the past that the two were experiencing at a certain moment. “We’re college buddies. That’s why every time we meet, it’s like going back in time a little bit,” he said, while the head of Jornal da Globo agreed, but without expanding on the subject. The JN presenter didn’t explain if they were classmates or just went to the same college.
