Sanders Won’t Recognize Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s President

Sanders Won’t Recognize Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s President

Venezuela is currently in a constitutional crisis, as both Guaidó and Maduro claim to have won the country’s recent election.
Ramos asked Sanders if he considered Guaidó to be the legitimate president of Venezuela.
"No, I think what has to happen right now, I think that there are serious questions about the recent election. There are many people who feel it was a fraudulent election, and I think the United States has got to work with the international community to make sure there is a free and fair election in Venezuela,” Sanders said.
Ramos followed up by asking Sanders whether Maduro should step down.
"I think clearly he has been very, very abusive. That is a decision of the Venezuelan people. So I think, Jorge, there’s got to be a free and fair election,” Sanders said, NTK Network reported.
