The power struggle between embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the opposition met its most bold action on Tuesday when Juan Guaido called for a military uprising to oust the socialist leader. A senior administration official told Fox News that Guaido has "substantial" military backing, however, the revolt so far seems to have only limited military backing. Guaido, the leader of Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, invoked the constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, triggering a power struggle with Maduro. National Security Advisor John Bolton said that the Venezuelan military has a choice to make: embrace democracy or "face more man-made suffering and isolation." Activists from the liberal group Codepink, who protest the U.S.’s support for Guaido, have been protesting at the embassy.
