Argentina’s elections: an explainer for Donald Trump

[VINO]

I don't think Donald Trump even knows too much about the mid-term elections coming up in a few weeks. Half the time he sounds like he thinks Milei is on the ballot for this election. This is a good piece on the upcoming elections.

Thank you for posting this. This is what I don't understand. They have so little support. Even if they do very well most of this country is socialists and never will support Milei. Zero chance of absolute majority by Milei in either house even if they kill the elections and do very well which does not seem like that will be the case.

Milei's special powers which he had after he got elected seem to have vanished which pushed most of the important stuff through. With all the scandals with his sister and him I am not sure they are making progress and the exchange rate and emergency bail outs seem to prove this.

The local elections in September were ugly and many of my friends that live in BA have flipped on their support. Still I don't know if voting for the opposition is a solution either. That mess with Espert was another blunder by Milei. Why would they put such a flawed candidate on the ballot? And Milei still supported him up until the end until everyone around him told him that he had to abandon him.

Milei's judgement seems to be terrible.

The problem in this country is every politician no matter which side they are on is stealing. One can argue no one can compare to Cristina but honestly I think if Karina Milei was given enough time in office she might give Cristina a run for her money. I have heard nothing but terrible things about her. I am not sure what it will take for Milei to ax his sister but I am sure there is no way he wouldn't know about these activities. A shame as he has some good ideas.

As someone that hates Milei something I like is all the fighting in his own party. They are self imploding.

Milei and team have made a lot of mistakes. They all seem to hate one another. He isn't even on speaking terms with his own VP.

It is hard to say what will happen in the election. So many people didn't turn out in last month's election. Unemployment seems like it is going up. More people I know in CABA are losing jobs. People can smell the desperation now. People would rather have a job with rising costs vs. lower inflation and no job at all.

More magazines are writing how Milei is botching things.
