Biden joins calls for new elections in Venezuela

Joe Biden joined the leaders of Brazil and Colombia on Thursday in calling for new elections in Venezuela, following an election both the U.S. and others have said appeared to have been rigged in favor of the sitting president.

Asked by reporters if he agreed with calls from Latin American leaders for new elections in Venezuela, Biden said “I do.” U.S. officials have said previously that available data suggested opposition candidate Edmundo González had defeated Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
