Argentine President Javier Milei secured a decisive victory Sunday in midterm elections, expanding his control of Congress and giving his government fresh momentum to push forward with deep spending cuts and sweeping free-market reforms.

The result gives Milei’s libertarian movement a boost and marks another sharp turn for one of Latin America’s largest and most volatile economies.

Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, won about 41.5% of the vote in Buenos Aires province, a historic upset in a region long dominated by the Peronist opposition. The rival coalition took 40.8%, according to figures cited by Reuters and The Associated Press.

Nationwide, La Libertad Avanza increased its seats in the lower house from 37 to 64, positioning Milei to more easily defend his vetoes and executive decrees that have defined his economic agenda.

"The result is better than even the most optimistic Milei supporters were hoping for," Marcelo Garcia, Americas director at the risk-analysis firm Horizon Engage, said in comments reported by Reuters. "With this result, Milei will be able to easily defend his decrees and vetoes in Congress."

Political consultant Gustavo Cordoba told Reuters the outcome reflected a cautious optimism among voters who appear willing to give Milei’s economic policies more time.

"Many people were willing to give the government another chance," Cordoba said. "The triumph is unobjectionable, unquestionable."

Reuters reported that inflation has fallen from 12.8% before Milei’s inauguration to 2.1% last month. His government has also posted a fiscal surplus and pushed through broad deregulation measures — a dramatic reversal after years of economic turbulence.

According to The Associated Press, the U.S. government under President Donald Trump offered Argentina a $40 billion aid package, including a $20 billion currency swap and a proposed $20 billion debt-investment facility, after tying future U.S. support to Milei’s performance in the midterms.

President Donald Trump congratulated Milei on Truth Social Sunday night, writing: "Congratulations to President Javier Milei on his Landslide Victory in Argentina. He is doing a wonderful job! Our confidence in him was justified by the People of Argentina."

Investors reacted positively to the results. Reuters reported that Argentine bonds and stocks are expected to rally as Milei’s stronger hand in Congress gives him the political capital to accelerate his reforms

Milei called the election "a turning point for Argentina," according to AFP via the Times of Israel.

Tucker Kraft was eating good on Sunday night as he and Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to a win over the frustrated Pittsburgh Steelers, 35-25.

Love and Kraft hooked up early and often. The first connection came in the first quarter when Love found the tight end for a 16-yard touchdown pass to cap off a six-play, 67-yard drive.

The Steelers were being buoyed by Chris Boswell’s impressive field goal kicking and an Aaron Rodgers touchdown pass to DK Metcalf. Pittsburgh took a 16-7 lead into halftime. Love came back out and didn’t miss a beat.

Love threw another touchdown pass to Kraft and a third to Savion Williams to guide the Packers back to the front. Josh Jacobs scored in the fourth quarter from three yards out. Once the Packers took the lead, the defense never let up.

Rodgers came into the game making sure not to play up the first matchup of his career against the team that selected him in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He looked back fondly on his time with the Packers throughout the week leading up to the game.

He probably wished things went a little differently.

There were times when Rodgers showed just how excellent he continues to be at 41 years old. He made terrific throws to Metcalf and Roman Wilson at points in the night and was even able to bait the Packers’ secondary into a pass interference call during a crucial touchdown drive.

But there were also times when he was visibly frustrated with teammates. He was pressured all night by linebackers Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary and the offense didn’t jibe well for the most part. He was seeking to become the fifth quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 teams in a career.

Some of the tensions the Steelers players had boiled over on the field. During a Steelers kickoff, Pittsburgh’s Ben Skowronek was double-teamed by two Packers players. Nick Herbig came over to defend Skowronek and pushed Bo Melton to the ground. It kicked off a brief skirmish that saw two officials get caught up in it.

Later, Metcalf sparred with Packers linebacker Quay Walker. The wide receiver put his fingers into Walker’s facemask. He was called for unnecessary roughness and stymied the Steelers’ offense.

Green Bay will take a win back home and improve to 5-1-1. The Steelers fell to 4-3, which will tighten the race for the AFC North as the midway point of the season nears.

Love finished 29-of-37 with 360 passing yards and three touchdown passes. Kraft had seven catches for 143 yards and two scores.

Rodgers was 24-of-36 with two touchdown passes and 219 passing yards. Wilson and Metcalf each had touchdowns.
