[1/3] Conservative Patricia Bullrich, who finished third in the first round of Argentina's presidential election, attends a press conference next to Luis Petri, in Buenos Aires, Argentina October 25, 2023. While Patricia Bullrich's endorsement could lead many of her center-right coalition's voters to also support the combative outsider Milei, criticism from within her Together for Change coalition showed at least some will not follow her lead. Bullrich's public backing of Milei quickly stoked divisions in the coalition she led, which months ago was the odds-on favorite to replace Massa's Peronists. Gerardo Morales, head of the more moderate Radical Civic Union party within Bullrich's coalition, derided her endorsement as "irresponsible," adding that the party will not endorse Milei or Massa. Analysts suggest the overall impact of Bullrich's endorsement will be limited, as some of her supporters will probably break for Massa.
