Rubio: Biden Admin Must Unequivocally Stand With Venezuela’s President-Elect

Aug 8, 2024 | Press Releases

Independently verified results from the recent presidential elections in Venezuela indicate Edmundo González Urrutia is the rightful President-elect. However, narco-dictator Maduro maintains his illegitimate grip on power.

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement following the Biden-Harris Administration’s wavering support for the Venezuelan people and their chosen leader:

  • “The Biden-Harris Administration claimed concessions to the Maduro regime would secure a ‘free and fair’ election process in Venezuela, yet we all know it was a farce. The ‘strategies’ presented by this administration have done nothing but empower narco-dictator Maduro and his thugs. 
  • “It’s disgraceful the Biden-Harris Administration is unwilling to declare the victory of President-elect Edmundo Gonzalez while the regime has increased the repression. 
  • “Any negotiations are a continued lifeline to the narco-regime. The tenacity of the Venezuelan people was on full display as they proudly voted and peacefully demonstrated their strong desire for freedom. Our nation’s message must be clear: We stand for freedom, we recognize Edmundo González as the President-elect, and that Maduro’s illegitimate reign must come to an end.”
