Venezuela reaching statehood requires four house of representative seats from California, three from Texas, two from Florida, two from New York, one each from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington, Arizona, Massachusetts, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnesota, Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut. We would earn 40 electoral votes for United States presidency.
Venezuela existing 335 municipalities would be equivalent to counties in U.S. states. Perhaps some municipalities would merge while Libertador and Vargas would be subdivided. Management of oil and mineral wealth would be specified. Official language provisions would be required. Trump would also invite Guyana to join new state alongside Venezuela. It would be preferable to unite in order to liberate future generations from repetitive, old disputes. There is enough oil for everyone. We need to capitalize on competitive opportunity created by Middle East.
Total support to brave words of Antonio Guterres, who confirmed great internal complicity leading to arrest of former president Nicolás Maduro. It is fortunate that such complicity was successful. Venezuela needed to get rid of a problematic head of state, while we now enjoy efficiency and a path to U.S. statehood. Venezuela presidential elections risk to be moved forward from 2030 into first Tuesday after November 1st, 2028. Venezuela would initiate our 40 electoral vote leverage to define United States presidency. Both Republicans and Democrats are advised to increase exposure into this newest swing state.
Third phase would be Venezuela statehood. It is preferable to secure our 40 electoral votes by the first Tuesday after November 1, 2028, rather than enduring another electoral circus where usual losers will once again cry fraud. Third phase would see Chavismo absorbed by Marco Rubio and Republican Party, while MUD opposition would be absorbed by Kamala Harris and Democratic Party. There are 909 days until next US presidential election, in which Venezuela would contribute 40 crucial electoral votes. We must begin process of making Venezuela a 51st state as soon as possible. Unlike Canada and Greenland, there is strong support here for Trump’s proposal. China, Iran, and Russia did not defend us when it was their turn. Governorship led by Delcy Rodríguez remains in power.
Buoyant business for diaspora luminaries is over. Farewell to those who boast and feel supremely important. We Venezuelans who never fled our country are now custodians of hydrocarbons that will allow us to earn statehood. United States is rolling out red carpet for us. Republican and Democratic parties will have to campaign to replace thirty-eight representatives from various states with new ones elected from Venezuela. Presidential candidates in November 2028 elections will need to secure our forty electoral votes. Governor Delcy Rodríguez will remain comfortably entrenched, due to Republican support. Remains to be determined whether Democrat Party will assume costs of legal defense in federal courts designated for State of Venezuela regarding challenger’s political disqualification.
Venezuela will finance US federal debt. Our oil and gas industry can raise a hundred trillions of dollars during twenty-first century. Capex from American companies and Department of Energy accounts can expect a certain return on investment. We deserve our 40 electoral votes. All approaches are necessary to achieve admission as 51st state.
