An interaction on social media by the governor of São Paulo reignited the debate about his role in the 2026 presidential race. On Tuesday night (13), Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) liked a comment made by his wife, Cristiane Freitas, in which she associates her husband with the idea of a “new CEO” for Brazil.
The demonstration took place in a post on the governor’s Instagram criticizing the PT. In the comments space, Cristiane wrote: “Our country needs a new CEO, my husband.”
The governor’s gesture was interpreted by followers as a sign of encouragement for the thesis that he could run for Palácio do Planalto, a reading reinforced by messages from other users asking the first lady to convince him to enter the presidential race.

The post features a video in which Tarcísio criticizes the PT administration and states that the country is stuck in an “aged” model with “nothing modern”. In the published excerpt, he defends an agenda of administrative reforms, reduction in the size of the State and resumption of privatizations, associating these measures with an economy equivalent to up to 3.5% of GDP and an increase in the country’s attractiveness for investments.
In the caption, the governor maintains that Brazil “cannot handle four more years of PT” and states that removing the party from power would be the central axis of the right-wing strategy in 2026.
