Aside from her merit, it's a smart political move amid the Trump debate
First, she's a conservative, so this is no partisan slight
And second, Corina (like Trump) rejects Maduro's illegal regime. She's still in hiding, and her campaign organiser is still missing.
So this is someone Trump respects

Venezuelan opposition leader MarΓa Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to βkeep the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darknessβ.
Machado is in hiding but continues to campaign against NicolΓ‘s Maduro's grip on power.

Your kids won't remember why you worked late.
But your boss will.
And only your boss decides...
whether you get promoted to ambassador.
So make sure you stay late.
