As polls closed in Venezuela, Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President of the United States, said the country "stands with Venezuela" and called for the respect of the election's results.
Venezuelans are choosing between 10 candidates for the 2025–2031 term, although the race is largely between two: the coalition of opposition parties represented by Edmundo González Urrutia and Nicolás Maduro, the current leader of Chavismo, which has governed Venezuela for the last 25 years.
