"Argentina's High-Stakes Runoff: Will Trump-Admiring Populist Milei Seize the Presidency?"

Argentina held a fiercely polarizing runoff election to determine its next president, with populist candidate Javier Milei, often compared to Donald Trump, facing off against Economy Minister Sergio Massa of the Peronist party. Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist, aims to slash the size of the state and rein in inflation, while Massa warns of the negative impacts of such policies. The election comes amid soaring inflation and rising poverty in Argentina, forcing voters to choose between two unpopular options. Initial results were expected hours after polls closed.
