The US has long recognized Edmundo González as the rightful president of the country following the 2024 election. I imagine they will try to install him.

Alternatively there's María Corina Machado who overwhelmingly won the presidential primary for that election but wasn't allowed to run.

It’s not just the US that recognizes González, the evidence was pretty clear that he won in a landslide.

But this is not the result of a free election, more promising candidates like Machado were not able to run: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-opposition-...

So you can't just install this person as president now.
