Argentina's Presidential Election: Massa and Milei Head to Run-Off

TL;DR Summary
Argentina's presidential election is heading to a run-off vote next month between left-wing candidate Sergio Massa and far-right libertarian Javier Milei. Massa received the highest number of votes in the first round, followed by Milei. Third-place candidate Patricia Bullrich conceded defeat. The election comes at a time of widespread disillusionment with the country's elite and its management. The government coalition supporting Massa has shown a strong performance, as Argentina faces a severe financial crisis. Inflation has soared to 138%, putting pressure on ordinary people. The next president will take office in December for a 4-year term.
