"That lady's got guts, right?"
"I think she needs to be in the country. I think she needs to rally the Venezuelans."
"She did indicate that she wants to go back as soon as possible - which I advised, in Spanish, is not a good idea."
"I just think it's dangerous. We would rather have respected leaders of the opposition take their time to go back and be safe."
More than a dozen senators praised María Corina Machado's courage while debating how Venezuela should transition to democracy and when it would be safe for her to return. Some senators argued she should remain abroad to rally Venezuelans and international support, while others warned a premature return would be dangerous. Senators discussed a potential congressional delegation to Caracas to show support. Machado met with former President Trump and referenced gifting him her non-transferable Nobel Peace Prize, a detail some senators said she did not mention. Democrats and Republicans united in celebrating Machado but differed on the Trump administration's approach.
