The MDB (Brazilian Democratic Movement) has entered the crowded race for the vice-presidential position in Tarcísio de Freitas's re-election campaign, which already includes PL, PSD, and PP among competitors. Party leaders believe that Gilberto Kassab's recent electoral strategies have weakened the PSD's position in São Paulo, thus creating an opportunity for MDB to claim the vice spot that is presently held by Felício Ramuth of the PSD. This shift in party dynamics highlights an ongoing competition within Brazilian politics, particularly as parties jockey for influence and representation in the upcoming elections.

On Monday, a significant meeting took place in São Paulo's city hall, involving key figures from the MDB, including national president Baleia Rossi, state president Rodrigo Arenas, municipal president Enrico Masasi, and the mayor Ricardo Nunes. Together, they discussed the evolving electoral landscape and the potential for MDB to fortify its position within the state. The meeting underscored MDB's strategic maneuvering as it considers its options and the implications of Kassab's declining influence.

In the afternoon following the meeting, Baleia Rossi met with Tarcísio to further discuss the electoral scenario, with hopes from the MDB members that Rossi may position himself as a viable candidate for the vice-presidency. This interaction reflects MDB's intent to strengthen the alliance with Tarcísio while navigating the complexities of the political alliances in the state, as Kassab emphasized the necessity for Tarcísio to establish a distinct identity separate from Jair Bolsonaro amidst ongoing political alignments and divisions.
