Bullrich endorses Milei in Argentine election

Will conservative support be enough to secure a libertarian victory?

Hello Financial Healers,

Let’s pray for Argentina! The country’s razor-close presidential election is coming up on November 19th. It’s a decision between the current status quo (an economy crippled by 140% inflation), and a chance at carving a new but uncertain path toward prosperity.

Argentina’s candidates are incumbent economy chief, Sergio Massa, whose party presides over the struggling economy, and libertarian firebrand, Javier Milei, who vows to take a chainsaw to the bureaucracy.

Pollsters are hesitant to make predictions, but some maintain Milei has a slight advantage. Personally, I think Milei has a chance, but it will be close. In the first round of elections last month, Milei only secured 30% of the vote, while Massa garnered a staggering 36%.

The wild card in this election is Patricia Bullrich, the conservative candidate, who came in 3rd place with 23% of support. After her elimination in the first round, she endorsed Milei. Bullrich’s blessing will boost turnout against Massa, but it’s naive to think all of her supporters will rally behind the libertarian’s aggressive messaging.

Either way… let’s pray God installs a courageous leader, who can help Argentines escape the brutal slog of poverty.

Interceding for Argentina,
Cory De Silva
