Milei’s Party Wins Argentina’s Midterm Election After Trump’s Support

La Libertad Avanza secured the most votes nationwide, while the Peronist alliance came in second with 31.67% and Provincias Unidas failed to gain traction.

President Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza party scored a decisive win in Sunday’s legislative elections, consolidating support for his free-market agenda midway through his term.

The results bolster his position in Congress and mark a setback for Argentina’s Peronist opposition.

The electoral contest took place in a context of crucial financial support from the United States, an assistance driven by the administration of President Donald Trump and actively managed by the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent.

This support has been fundamental for the economic stability of the country and has generated debate both locally and internationally.

La Libertad Avanza, the ruling party, obtained a broad victory at the national level with 40.84% of the votes, according to 90 percent of votes counted Sunday night.
