Early results in Argentina’s legislative elections on Sunday showed a landslide victory for President Javier Milei as voters overwhelmingly backed his free-market reforms and deep austerity measures, providing a strong boost for the libertarian leader to continue his economic overhaul.
The president’s party, La Libertad Avanza, scored 41.5% of the vote in Buenos Aires province compared with 40.8% for the Peronist coalition, according to official results. The province has long been a political stronghold for the Peronists, marking a dramatic political shift.
Nationwide, La Libertad Avanza got 64 seats in the House of Deputies, up from 37, according to government figures.
Milei was aiming to boost his small minority in Congress and maintain the support of U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration recently provided Argentina with a hefty financial bailout but has threatened to pull away if Milei did not do well.

Beautiful news!
Excellent!!!
great news!
All the drive by media were gleefully reporting doom and gloom for Javier. No wonder wo many Dems are brainwashed. Now pubs need to get in front of this Schumer shutdown and widely broadcast that it is not a Trump shutdown.
Voters actually voted to step away from the brink... I’m speechless.
If you follow events in Argentina (as I do) you know that both the domestic and international media report almost exclusively from the left POV. That Milei is increasingly popular has been denied or avoided for months. Thus, the results of the election comes as a shock to the media, but not to the people.
Afuera!
