Protests continue in Venezuela over disputed election

The U.S. has recognized Venezuela's opposition candidate Edmundo González as the winner of last weekend's presidential election, despite President Nicolás Maduro claiming victory. CBS News correspondent Lilia Luciano examines what the acknowledgment means for Maduro and Venezuela.

Well done CBS! This does need more coverage because it is a common trend in the Americas right now, in-power authoritarianism or aspiring authoritarianism.

Did anyone think a dictator would just accept he lost

[shamshershahi]

As they should till Maduro shows his tallies. We should've done this in 2020 but Senators were not heard.

They have sponsors. A Venezuelan woman left a bodega EBT receipt in NYC and a woman took a pic of it then posted it. She had an unused balance of $13, 401.00 and a cash on the spot value of $4, 800.00. An illegal immigrant
