Argentina Presidential Runoff Election
Buenos Aires, Argentina | Nov. 19-20, 2023

Argentina’s economy minister and the anti-establishment upstart he faces in a presidential runoff next month have begun competing to shore up the moderate voters they need.

Economy Minister Sergio Massa earned almost seven points more than chainsaw-wielding economist and freshman lawmaker Javier Milei in Sunday’s vote. Most polls had shown Massa slightly trailing. Voters had been expected to punish him for triple-digit inflation that has eaten away at the purchasing power of salaries and boosted poverty.

On Nov. 19, voters have the option of choosing Massa despite the economic deterioration that took place on his watch. Their other option is a self-described anarcho-capitalist who promises a drastic shake-up of South America’s second-largest economy.
