Venezuelans courageously took to the ballot box to seek true, legitimate representation after a lost decade under Maduro. Despite violent repression, overwhelming majorities repudiated Maduro and chose President-elect Edmundo González. But this brutal regime refuses to face reality, despite clear evidence proving Maduro’s loss. The Biden-Harris Administration successfully forced Maduro to hold this election. Now, the United States must ensure consequences for Maduro's attempt to overturn the will of the voters and support a democratic future for all Venezuelans.” Read more »
Venezuelans courageously took to the ballot box to seek true, legitimate representation after a lost decade under Maduro. And despite enormous barriers and personal risk, overwhelming majorities across the nation repudiated Maduro and chose democracy. Yet this brutal narco-regime refuses to face reality, despite clear evidence proving Maduro’s loss. The violent repression of protestors’ demands for democracy must end and a peaceful transfer of power must begin. The Biden-Harris Administration successfully forced Maduro to hold this election.

Los venezolanos valientemente salieron a las urnas para buscar una representación verdadera y legítima después de una década perdida bajo Maduro. Y a pesar de enormes barreras y riesgos personales, abrumadoras mayorías en todo el país repudiaron a Maduro y eligieron la democracia.

Today’s ruling by the so-called ‘International Court of Justice’ reaffirms that the UN discriminates against Israel. They have consistently denied Israel’s legitimate security needs and the right to defend her people. The fact this decision came mere hours after an unprecedented fatal drone strike on Tel Aviv, while more than 120 hostages remain held captive in Gaza by Hamas and 60,000 Israelis are still displaced due to terror attacks from Hezbollah, further demonstrates the ICJ is not, and never has been, interested in seeking true justice.
