Peronists face a setback in Argentina’s midterms, winning just 34% in Buenos Aires despite claiming a “life-or-death” fight.
Argentina's President Javier Milei faces his worst electoral defeat since taking office, losing Buenos Aires province to Peronism amid a corruption scandal involving his sister. The election results reflect growing dissatisfaction with Milei's economic policies and political turmoil ahead of October midterms. The opposition gained ground, and Milei remains committed to his austerity agenda.
