Known for his distinctive personal style and strong media presence, Milei has been a prominent figure in Argentine politics, characterized by his right-wing populist and libertarian views.

Before his presidency, Milei was elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in November 2021, representing the City of Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza.
