Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Dispute over Venezuela’s Election Results Deepens as Opposition Claims It Won by 2X the Vote Count

HeadlineAug 05, 2024

Tensions are rising one week after the disputed Venezuelan election was called for incumbent President Nicolás Maduro. His main rivals, presidential candidate Edmundo González and fellow opposition leader María Corina Machado, have repeatedly claimed their party received more votes, releasing its own tally of last Sunday’s ballots.

The U.S., Argentina, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Uruguay have recognized Edmundo González as president-elect, while Mexico and Brazil are warning external actors against interfering in Venezuela’s national affairs. Mass protests in support of Maduro took place across Venezuela this weekend. We’ll go to Caracas for more later in the broadcast.
