Florida Republicans & Democrats condemn Venezuela’s disputed election results

Florida Republicans and Democrats alike blasted the announced results of Venezuela’s presidential election on Monday.

Election authorities in the South American nation said that incumbent Nicolás Maduro has won that contest, but the results are hotly disputed not only by the political opposition in Venezuela but in many capitals around the globe.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the U.S. has “serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of Venezuelan people.“

Gov. Ron DeSantis not only criticized the reported outcome of the race, but also the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris administration for temporarily lifting economic sanctions against the Socialist-led country last year after the Maduro government signed an agreement with the political opposition to work towards free and fair elections.
