Claim 2: “interim president Delcy Rodriguez marks 150 days in power”

CORROBORATED

Multiple independent sources confirm Delcy Rodriguez as the interim president following the US intervention in January 2026. One source explicitly mentions her 100-day mark on April 15, 2026, and another reports her as interim president on July 2, 2026. Calculating from the appointment following the Jan 3 event, the 150-day mark aligns with the June 9, 2026 timeframe.
