Rubio hopes that the Trump administration's pressure actions against Venezuela will force Maduro to give up power. However, if this effort goes wrong, it could backfire and ruin Rubio's presidential prospects. If they fail to remove Maduro from power, Rubio may lose the support of a key voter group, the Latin American exiles, especially in his home state of Florida. If Maduro is ousted but the Trump administration's actions lead to even more severe political and economic turmoil in Venezuela, it could also damage Rubio's image among the same group of voters. At the same time, if Rubio successfully removes Maduro from power, it might harm his standing among the "MAGA" isolationists, because after the painful experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, these people want to limit U.S. overseas adventures, and they "lack political appetite and political will for regime change in Venezuela."
