Looks to me like they've found a replacement for Ukraine.

Javier Milei's term as President of Argentina began on December 10, 2023, and is scheduled to end on December 10, 2027.

Yes, he can run for reelection. Under Argentina's constitution, presidents are allowed to serve up to two consecutive four-year terms. Since this is Milei's first term, he is eligible to seek reelection in the 2027 presidential election.

Milei's chances of gaining more legislative support appear strong heading into the October 26, 2025, midterm elections, where 127 of 257 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 24 of 72 seats in the Senate will be contested.
His party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), currently holds a minority position in Congress, but recent developments suggest momentum for expansion. In May 2025, LLA achieved a significant victory in Buenos Aires City legislative elections, securing a breakthrough in a traditionally center-right stronghold and boosting Milei's agenda.

Polls from April 2025 showed LLA with 29-41% support nationally, often leading or closely competing with opposition groups like Kirchnerism (30-36%).
More recent surveys in June 2025 indicate LLA leading voting intentions by nearly 20 points over Peronism, with economic perceptions (such as tamed inflation) predicting a potential victory if Milei remains central to the campaign.

Alliances, such as with the center-right PRO party in key provinces like Buenos Aires, could further amplify gains.

Milei's personal approval rating, a key driver of LLA's electoral prospects, has held steady around 45-60% as of early July 2025, despite challenges like rising unemployment and a March 2025 "cryptogate" scandal that temporarily dented support.

Approval is particularly high among younger voters (52% for ages 16-24) and older demographics (49% for ages 60+), with economic successes like austerity measures and inflation control cited as bolstering his image.

However, critics point to uneven support across age groups and ongoing economic worries as potential vulnerabilities.

If current trends persist, analysts see favorable odds for LLA to increase its congressional seats, enabling Milei to advance a second wave of reforms.
