Javier Milei won a decisive midterm victory, expanded congressional control, and boosted market confidence amid austerity measures and economic turbulence.
Voters in Argentina are heading to the polls in midterm legislative elections that will gauge support for President Javier Milei's sweeping free-market reforms, which have caused austerity pains for many, at a critical juncture in his presidency.
