US pushes Venezuela judicial/electoral overhaul to force Maduro exit by 2027

The US is reportedly pressing for the renewal of Venezuela's Supreme Court (TSJ) and National Electoral Council (CNE) to enable elections within six months, aiming to declare the presidency vacant and remove Nicolás Maduro. This marks a shift from sanctions-only pressure to institutional engineering, though the feasibility hinges on Maduro's cooperation or internal defections. The move signals heightened US commitment to a democratic transition, but risks escalating tensions with the Maduro government.
