Argentina's Milei Faces Setback Ahead of Midterm Elections
Argentina's President Milei is facing challenges.
Lawmakers in Argentina went against what the President wanted, and voted to pass laws that the President had tried to stop.
The President had tried to stop these laws because he thinks they would make Argentina spend too much money.
The laws involved funding for public universities and healthcare for kids.
These decisions come before important elections in October.
The President is trying to cut back on spending, but some people disagree with his ideas.
Argentine lawmakers overturned two vetoes by President Javier Milei.

These actions come before the upcoming midterm elections.
