“For Milei, this should be a shock,” said Ignacio Labaqui, an Argentine political analyst.
Mr. Milei received nearly the same percentage of the vote as in the primary election, he said, while Mr. Massa’s support grew after a campaign focused on the dangers of a Milei presidency.
“Massa has a very strong chance to become Argentina’s next president,” Mr. Labaqui added.
Those plans have gained traction with millions of Argentines as the nation grapples with its worst economic crisis in decades.
Mr. Milei has also attracted attention in Argentina and abroad for his bellicose political style that has drawn comparisons — which he has embraced — to Donald J. Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former president.
