US EditionPresident Milei's Party Wins Argentina's Midterm Elections
- On Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, La Libertad Avanza won 40.84% of the national vote, strengthening President Javier Milei after the midterm elections.
- The vote came after a run on the peso that forced U.S. financial intervention including a US$20-billion currency swap, as the midterm served as a referendum on President Javier Milei's austerity-driven reforms amid inflation at 32%.
- With provincial tallies in, LLA won six of eight Senate-contesting provinces and 64 of 127 lower-house seats, as turnout fell to 67.85%.
