Seven ‘far-right’ candidates have won in Latin America since USAID was defunded…

Remember when they tried to tell us that USAID was simply a humanitarian agency?

They claimed USAID built schools, delivered food, and helped poor countries to develop. That was their sales pitch…

It was a lie.

Because as it turns out, much of that money was flowing into a massive web of NGOs, activist groups, media projects, “civil society” organizations, and democracy programs that helped shape political life in other countries.

Then President Trump pulled the plug, and something interesting happened. More on that shortly.

It was back on January 20, 2025, when President Trump froze new foreign-aid obligations and disbursements while his team reviewed where the money was going. Within weeks, USAID’s website was taken down, its Washington headquarters was closed, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the acting administrator. By March, the administration said it had canceled about 83 percent of the agency’s programs.

And that brings us to the interesting stuff that started happening.

Suddenly, Latin America began moving sharply to the right.

One conservative or right-leaning candidate after another started winning elections, shocking political observers and crushing the left’s stranglehold. Now we can’t definitively prove that USAID’s collapse caused those results, but the timing is very curious indeed.

For decades, USAID money created the kind of political infrastructure that shapes a country’s culture, messaging, activism, media, and voter education. Then when that money was suddenly cut off, the political map began changing real fast.

Maybe it is coincidence… sure.

Or maybe the left’s political ecosystem isn’t strong or popular when American taxpayers are no longer bankrolling it.

Gotta love it, “far right” is the media label for anyone who isn’t willing to fall in line with progressive hooey.

Some of these winning candidates are conservative, nationalist, and center-right, and some are simply running against failed left-wing governments. But to the media they’re all “extremists.”

Here’s a list of the big winners:

Daniel Noboa, Ecuador

Won reelection: April 13, 2025

Noboa defeated leftist Luisa González decisively in the runoff, winning 55.63% of the vote. Ecuador’s exploding crime and cartel violence were central to the race.

Rodrigo Paz Pereira, Bolivia

Won: October 19, 2025

Paz won the runoff with 55%, ending the long dominance of Evo Morales’s socialist MAS movement.

José Antonio Kast, Chile

Won: December 14, 2025

Kast won with 58.2% after campaigning on security, immigration, and restoring order, defeating Communist Party candidate Jeannette Jara.

Nasry “Tito” Asfura, Honduras

Won: 2025

His win was another rejection of the region’s left-wing “pink tide.” I need to pull the exact certified result and date before we use a number in the blog, but he belongs on the list of rightward presidential wins Reuters is referencing.

Laura Fernández, Costa Rica

Won: February 1, 2026

Fernández won the presidency and her party won 31 of 57 seats in Congress, the first time since 1990 that one party took both the presidency and a legislative majority.

Abelardo de la Espriella, Colombia

Won: June 21, 2026

He narrowly beat leftist Iván Cepeda, 49.66% to 48.70%, in a razor-tight race that Reuters described as part of the broader regional rightward shift.

Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza, Argentina

Won: October 26, 2025 midterms

Milei won the presidency in 2023, before USAID was sidelined. But his party’s 2025 midterm gains strengthened his hand in Congress and prevented the opposition from having enough votes to override presidential vetoes.

These are impressive wins, and the timing definitely has a lot of people going “hmmm.”

Like we mentioned earlier, Team Trump didn’t just trim some fat around the edges. They literally froze foreign assistance and wiped out thousands of contracts.

And that’s where the timeline we mentioned shows the exact moment the political shift started.

State.gov:

“Executive order, Reevaluating And Realigning United States Foreign Aid, issued freezing all foreign aid for a 90-day review.”

“The order called for a pause on funding on new obligations and disbursements and a 90-day review of all U.S. foreign assistance to assess alignment with American values.”

“President appoints Secretary of State Marco Rubio as Acting USAID Administrator. USAID building in DC closes.”

“Administration announces a six-week review of USAID had been completed and that 83% of USAID programs had been terminated.”

“Secretary Rubio announced that a six-week review had been completed and that 83% of programs at USAID (5200 contracts) had been cancelled.”

When 5,200 contracts go bye-bye, so do the organizations, consultants, advocacy groups, media projects, election programs, and nonprofit networks that need that money to survive.

And as we all know, USAID wasn’t doing traditional aid work. They worked in sectors that were very political.

USAID was sitting at the head of the table when it came to shaping political infrastructure and elections.

AFSA:

Over the years USAID has provided assistance to developing countries in five main areas: election legislation and administration; civic and voter education; electoral oversight through observation; preventing electoral conflict; and political party development.

Gee, that’s a lot more than handing out blankets after a hurricane, right?

As you can see, USAID had their hands in the systems around elections: who gets trained and funded, how voters are reached, which groups are elevated, and how political conflicts are managed.

And the people saddest about USAID’s collapse have been pretty open about what was lost.

Carnegie Endowment:

The cessation of essentially all funding for democracy aid has crippled the nonprofit U.S. organizations that have carried out such work for decades, such as the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems.”

“It has weakened or devastated thousands of organizations around the world that have been supported by U.S. democracy aid, including human rights organizations, anti-corruption groups, media organizations, judicial training institutes, electoral management bodies, civic education organizations, and many others.

So, the very people defending USAID are telling us the money supported a global political ecosystem.

And the close of USAID hit Latin America hard.

It’s reported that 84 percent of USAID assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean was cut.

WOLA:

“WOLA’s own analysis, based on a memo the administration sent to Congress in March 2025, suggests that over 84 percent of USAID assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean was eliminated.”

“While some programs supporting public health, humanitarian assistance, and economic development remain, the majority of funding for human rights, democracy, the rule of law, diversity and equity, and support for migrants and asylum seekers scattered across the region, has all but disappeared.”

So, if a region loses more than 84 percent of its USAID support, including the money flowing into precious democracy, it’s fair to wonder if these 7 “far right” political wins are a result of that.

It’s all very curious and interesting, especially the timing.

Sure, maybe voters were just fed up with crime, corruption, inflation, and failed left-wing governments. And maybe the old political order was already falling apart at the seams.

Or maybe it turns out that USAID was spreading propaganda, creating extreme left-wing networks, and helping to rig elections, and now that they’re gone, people’s actual vote matters again.
