Edmundo González, the exiled Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate, is set to meet with President Biden in Washington on Monday. González seeks to garner further support ahead of his planned inauguration on January 10, 2025, a date he shares with Maduro, who is recognized by the Venezuelan government as the winner of the fraudulent July 28 election.
Exiled Venezuela n opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González is scheduled to meet with outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday, according to the Spanish news agency EFE. González is recognized by the United States and several other countries as the winner of the fraudulent July 28 presidential election, a sham electoral event that both he and socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro claim to have won.
The 75-year-old former diplomat is currently on a whirlwind tour across several Latin American nations and the United States ahead of January 10, 2025 — the date when both he and Maduro say they will assume the presidency of Venezuela. González has insisted that he will return to Caracas to be inaugurated, to which the Maduro regime responded last week by placing a $100,000 bounty on his head. Unnamed official sources with knowledge of the logistics of González’s visit told EFE that the Venezuelan opposition candidate will meet President Biden on Monday. EFE reported that González expects to meet with Biden to continue searching for support ahead of the January 10 inauguration date. González announced his arrival in Washington on Sunday and said that he will travel to Panama on January 8 to meet with President José Raúl Mulino and will then visit the Dominican Republic to meet with President Luis Abinader. The July 28 sham presidential election has been widely described as fraudulent by several countries and international organizations. While Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) proclaimed Maduro the winner of the fraudulent election, it has refused to publish voter data that can corroborate the dictator’s claimed victory. The Venezuelan opposition contested the election and published nationwide voter tallies collected on the day of the election that they claim demonstrate that González defeated Maduro in a landslide
