“The Venezuelan People Deserve Free Elections,” Machado Says in Capitol Talks

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is meeting with María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader and 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, in Washington, D.C.

This engagement follows Machado's recent high-profile visit to the United States, including her January 15, 2026, meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House—where she presented him with her Nobel medal amid discussions on Venezuela's political transition after the U.S.-led capture of former President Nicolás Maduro. The meeting underscores bipartisan U.S. interest in Venezuela's democratic future, regional stability in Latin America, and ongoing U.S. policy toward the country following military intervention, interim governance under Delcy Rodríguez, and calls for free elections.
