This study aims to investigate the television campaign of PSOL candidates in São Paulo during the 2020 elections, in order to determine whether it signals the rise of a new left or represents the continuation of a moderate image similar to that constructed by the Workers' Party (PT). The research analyzed television programs aired during the Free Electoral Advertising Time (Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral) in the second round, when Guilherme Boulos and Luiza Erundina were the party’s candidates. The analysis focused on the communicative strategies employed. The results indicated message neutrality and an emphasis on candidate-centered themes, aiming to bring the candidates closer to the electorate. In addition, contextualizes this rise following two decades of political competition between the PT and PSDB in the city.
