The Biden administration, along with the Carter Center and various U.S. officials, is urging Venezuela to release a complete and transparent tabulation of votes from the recent presidential election. Incumbent President Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner with 51% of the vote, but opposition candidate Edmundo González and his supporters claim he won based on their own tallies. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the need for a fair and transparent vote count to ensure the election reflects the will of the Venezuelan people. Local leaders in Miami, including Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, have condemned Maduro's declared victory and called for strong international actions against the regime.
