The Biden administration has officially begun calling Edmundo González Urrutia the president-elect of Venezuela, acknowledging his victory in July's presidential election over Nicolás Maduro. This designation marks the strongest stance yet from the US, which aims to exert pressure on Maduro. While the US previously indicated that González had more votes, it refrained from labeling him as president-elect until now. González fled to Spain, claiming coercion to declare Maduro the winner but intends to return to be sworn in, though this appears unlikely given Maduro's hold on power.
