TL;DR Summary

Argentina is holding a presidential runoff election that will determine whether the country takes a rightward shift. Populist candidate Javier Milei, often compared to Donald Trump, is facing Economy Minister Sergio Massa. Milei proposes to slash the size of the state and rein in inflation, while Massa warns of the negative impacts of such policies. The election is highly polarizing, forcing voters to choose the least bad option. Initial results are expected three hours after polls close. Milei's allegations of possible electoral fraud, reminiscent of Trump and Bolsonaro, have raised concerns about the integrity of the vote.
