Can Milei still win in Argentina?
Javier Milei, the firebrand libertarian candidate for Argentina's presidency, surprised the world with a first-place finish in the primaries this August. But in a run-off election this weekend, he finished second behind Peronist candidate Sergio Massa, Argentina's current Minister of Economy. Neither candidate passed the threshold needed to become the next president, and they will have a head-to-head rematch on November 12.
So does Milei still have a chance? Why did Argentina's markets falter after Milei came out ahead this summer? And why are Massa's allies in the government handing out money to voters?
Join Reason's Zach Weissmueller and Liz Wolfe this Thursday at 1p.m. Eastern time on Reason's YouTube channel or Facebook page to discuss these questions and more with Marcos Falcone a political scientist, project manager at Argentina's Fundación Libertad, and podcast host.
