US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) condemned today's 'elections' in Venezuela and released the following statement:

"Until a constitutional and democratic order is restored in Venezuela, the Maduro regime should face increasing isolation from the international community.

"The democracies gathered at the G20 summit this week in Argentina should collectively reject the results of the fraudulent election conducted by the regime today.

"In addition, the humanitarian crisis created by the Maduro regime poses a national security threat to the United States and our allies in the region. I now fully support President Trump's position that all policy options to help return Venezuela to a path of democracy and prosperity should be considered. This includes any measures that will open the way for the delivery of international humanitarian aid to be delivered to the people of Venezuela."
