Local leaders denounce Maduro being declared winner in Venezuela's presidential election

Venezuela’s opposition claimed victory in Sunday’s presidential election, setting up a showdown with the government, which earlier declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner.

“The Venezuelans and the entire world know what happened,” opposition candidate Edmundo González said in his first remarks.

Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said the margin of González's victory was “overwhelming" based on voting tallies it had received from campaign representatives from about 40% of ballot boxes nationwide.

We can’t even take care of the USA! What the hell are we supposed to do?

[waynegore]

Does US have a say in OTher people's election while we even dont have a say in our own election?

[cdd]

Not our circus. We got our own clowns to deal with here.

Vice president Harris released a statement: "Venezuela is a big country in South America, and that is very very far away".

I have a lot of respect for people who fight for their country to overcome corruption !

[lorenadictter]

Mr. President can barely speak to us, you want him to make how many calls?

Its very unsettling to see almost no one comment on Russia and China setting up shop in South and Central American countries. It just tells me that most Americans don't understand the gravitas of the situation that could have long-term consequences for future generations.

She's asking the wrong White House.

[jollyg]

Sorry sweetheart, we got our own banana republic to deal with.

[southerngrits]

America needs to take care of the US and let Venezuela and all take care of there own countries

[egv]

It's not our responsibility to fix other countries' elections!!!

Those three should go down there and send the message themselves. It’s not our problem.

Briben won’t do anything

I am curious to see what pipes will break in Nov this time around

[ileanageorge]

She’s right you know we have to help our fellow neighbors, and this guy will never leave.

[MommaDramaForLife]

They did the same thing in the USA!!!!

[lassmt]

Asking Biden to comment on a stolen election is like asking the Cookie Monster to condemn the Hamburglar

[Bentley]

That’s what happens when the government gets too big and has too much control.

[xmarksthespotmarksmanship]

We don’t need to send them nothing. We support the Venezuelans but that their fight. Not ours.
