María Corina Machado gains Republican allies in Washington pushing for earlier elections

Opposition commentator David Placeres reported that politicians from the "America First" wing of the Republican Party, including Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, back María Corina Machado's push to "speed up" Venezuela's election calendar. According to Placeres, Marco Rubio's envoys are working with tentative dates of "late 2027 or early 2028."

Placeres noted the initiative surfaced just before a possible meeting between Delcy Rodríguez and Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The commentator said he had no confirmation that Machado would meet with Trump administration representatives before returning to Venezuela.
