“Javier Milei, a libertarian candidate with radical solutions to Argentina’s economic crisis, beat out Economy Minister Sergio Massa to win Sunday’s presidential runoff,” Bloomberg reports.
“With 87% of ballots counted after Sunday’s election, Milei took 56% of the votes to 44% for Massa of the incumbent left-wing Peronist coalition.”
Washington Post: “It was a stunning upset over Sergio Massa, the center-left economy minister who has struggled to resolve the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades. Even before the official results had been announced Sunday night, Massa acknowledged defeat and congratulated Milei on his win.”
“Milei’s landslide victory makes him the most-voted president in a runoff since the return of democracy in Argentina. The results suggest that many of those who said they would vote in blank, and did not feel represented by either candidate, ended up choosing Milei.”
