    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Republicans are celebrating the results of an election thousands of miles away after their favored candidate won Argentina’s run-off presidential poll and declared victory on Sunday.

    Javier Milei, a populist politician who describes himself as a libertarian, has vowed to roll back the state and drastically overhaul Argentina’s ailing economy.

    He was congratulated by a string of American Republicans, including Donald Trump, who were thrilled with the outcome of the vote amid hopes their party’s presidential contender will enjoy a similar victory in the U.S. next year.

    He also opposes abortion, doesn’t believe humans are responsible for climate change, and has praised Trump; his own supporters wear hats with the slogan “Make Argentina Great Again.”

    Although still months away, the battle to choose the Republican nominee has been particularly fierce and beset with controversies as former president Trump squares up against Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

    The former currently trounces the latter in the polls— despite a string of legal woes and a Colorado judge’s ruling that he committed an insurrection against the United States Constitution on January 6, 2021, after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
