From South America looking out to North America

This election scenario is a repeat of the election scenario that happened in 2018 in Brazil, a neighboring country of Argentina, with the election of Mr. Jair Bolsonaro.

Argentine President-elect Javier Milei

Like Mr. Bolsonaro, Mr. Milei is generally seen as a version of former US President Donald Trump - who, after failing to be re-elected in 2020, is now trying to return to lead the United States. Same extreme views and populist campaigning. Same maximum and very effective use of social networks in the election campaign. Same promise to make the country more prosperous and greater. Same declaration of war on the elite class...

What is most noteworthy is that the reasons for Mr. Milei's victory are likely to be true for the upcoming US presidential election results. Mr. Milei was elected primarily because Argentine voters were dissatisfied with the ruling party for more than 20 years, which has caused the country's economy to decline. They want to change the government at all costs, accepting anyone as president except the representative of the long-standing ruling party. Regarding the US, Mr. Trump's chances of winning the election decrease if current President Joe Biden maintains his economic leadership achievements until election day.

In the US, as in Argentina, the shift from one political extreme to the other is always easy. So the lessons from Mr. Milei's victory are extremely useful for Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden in the US.
