Milei Allies Dismiss Push to Draft Pastor Dante Gebel for 2027

Union figures are trying to recruit the Argentine-born evangelical, who has not declared a run.

Overview

  • Libertarian influencer Daniel "El Gordo Dan" Parisini, a prominent Milei ally, said a Gebel bid "won't work," calling it artificial and imposed from above.
  • Gebel drew fresh attention with a sold-out "Presidente por un día" show at Buenos Aires' Teatro Gran Rex on December 10.
  • CGT figure Juan Pablo Brey said a cross-partisan group is working on a project to convince Gebel to enter the 2027 race.
  • Gebel has said he does not rule out running and has discussed the idea in recent interviews, while stopping short of an announcement.
  • The pastor leads River Church in Anaheim, California, has a large media footprint, and maintains a close, commercially involved relationship with broadcaster Mario Pergolini.
