SAO PAULO (AP) — Venezuela’s opposition was dealt a blow Thursday when countries that had been pressuring President Nicolás Maduro to release vote tallies backing his claim to victory in last month’s presidential election began suggesting a repeat of the contest instead.
The proposal from the leftist governments of Brazil and Colombia, both Maduro allies, came less than three weeks after the results of the highly anticipated election came into question when the main opposition coalition revealed it has proof that its candidate defeated the president by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
The opposition categorically rejected any plan to redo the election.
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, during a virtual news conference with Argentine media, said that repeating the July 28 presidential election would be “an insult” to the people, and she asked if a second election were held and Maduro still didn’t accept the results, “do we go for a third one?”
In Washington, U.S. President Joe Biden expressed support for new elections in comments to reporters that the White House later appeared to back away from.

Israel kills more people every day than Maduro’s regime has since the election. I don’t see you arguing for an invasion of Israel…
I wonder what the difference is to you. Since you’re such a strong anti-fascist, you’d think you’d be more concerned about an active genocide than an internal struggle where, apparently, nothing but boots on the ground will suffice.
I have openly said previously that I would be in favor of literal war with Israel. So, you know, maybe it’s just you that simps for fascist regimes because they’re led by ‘the right people’.
lmao, keep making up strawmen to attack.
