Milei Launches Provincial Campaign With Ushuaia Stop Ahead of Oct. 26 Midterms

The president aims to recapture 2023-style enthusiasm by leading direct voter contact in a Peronist stronghold facing elevated unemployment.

Overview

  • Milei confirmed he will lead a campaign event in Ushuaia on Monday, opening a renewed push for the Oct. 26 legislative elections.
  • Organizers set a 18:00 downtown walk from San Martín and Don Bosco, and Milei amplified the call on X with “Nos vemos en Tierra del Fuego… ¡Viva la libertad, carajo!”.
  • He will appear alongside local La Libertad Avanza candidates Agustín Coto for Senate and Miguel Rodríguez for the Chamber of Deputies.
  • Campaign strategists report plans to visit 10–13 provinces with trips roughly every three days, after a formal kickoff in Córdoba and with a planned close there.
  • Tierra del Fuego presents stiff opposition control and economic strain, with Governor Gustavo Melella aligned with Kirchnerism and unemployment at 8.3% in Q2 versus 7.6% nationally.
