Argentine Presidential Race Pits Radical Outsider vs. Establishment on Drastic Economic Fixes
- Argentine presidential election between Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa and libertarian outsider Javier Milei, who is the slight favorite to win
- Milei pledges controversial economic reforms like closing the central bank and ditching the peso which worries some voters
- Massa tries to claw back support by criticizing Milei's radical plans and enacting tax cuts
