"Driving the news: The committee awarded Machado the honor Friday "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy." The 58-year-old industrial engineer lives in hiding. Venezuela's courts blocked her from running for president and thus challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013."
"State of play: Trump told the UN General Assembly in September his efforts to resolve " unendable wars" around the world merited a Nobel. Despite multiple nominations during his presidencies, Trump has never won the prize. He previously criticized the committee's 2009 award to former President Obama, saying the former president "had no idea why he got it." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Trump in July, followed by endorsements from others."

The 58-year-old industrial engineer lives in hiding after Venezuelan courts blocked her from running for president and thus challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013. Donald Trump told the UN his efforts to resolve " unendable wars" merited a Nobel, but he has never won despite multiple nominations. The 2025 prize field included 338 candidates (244 individuals, 94 organizations). A Washington-Ipsos poll found just 22% of Americans supported Trump winning.
