Javier Milei’s Midterm Triumph Sets Stage for Argentina’s Continued Reforms

Argentine President Javier Milei’s party cruised to a decisive victory in the Oct. 26 midterm elections, but what comes next will likely play a role during Milei’s reelection bid in two years.

Following a considerable amount of uncertainty heading into the legislative contest—a crushing defeat in September’s Buenos Aires election, market upheaval, and U.S. intervention—Milei and his La Libertad Avanza have boosted their seat count in both chambers, winning 41 percent of the vote.
