The US has long recognized Edmundo González as the rightful president of the country following the 2024 election. I imagine they will try to install him.
Alternatively there's María Corina Machado who overwhelmingly won the presidential primary for that election but wasn't allowed to run.
- ch4s3 9mo agoIt’s not just the US that recognizes González, the evidence was pretty clear that he won in a landslide.
- aeyes 9mo agoBut this is not the result of a free election, more promising candidates like Machado were not able to run: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-opposition-candidate-machado-barred-holding-office-govt-2023-06-30/ https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-opposition-... So you can't just install this person as president now.
