John Polga-Hecimovich notes, 'The Trump administration right now is a real wild card,' highlighting uncertainty regarding how Trump's potential second term could affect Maduro's political situation.

Marco Rubio criticized Maduro's governance, stating, 'Venezuela, sadly, is not governed by a government; it is governed by a narco-trafficking organization that has empowered itself of a nation-state,' emphasizing the dire state of Venezuelan leadership.
