First, she needs to get out of the country. https://ve.usembassy.gov/visas/ says:
On March 11, 2019, the Department of State announced the temporary suspension of operations of U.S. Embassy Caracas and withdrawal of diplomatic personnel. All consular services are suspended. Immigrant visa applicants should contact IVBogota@state.gov for additional instructions. Nonimmigrant visa applicants can apply at any U.S. embassy or consulate in another country. For more information regarding applying for nonimmigrant visas, please visit travel.state.gov.
Then usual procedures apply which include proving ties to her residency, including family, jobs etc. If she resides in Venezuela, at this time I have serious doubts she'd be able to prove this. There's no formal ban, just a huge amount of suspicion about whether the visitors are genuine.
In fact, according to some news reports the US last year already was revoking tourist visas and another article also said
Venezuelans say they’re already seeing a drastic reduction in the number of U.S. visitor visas they’re being granted – and that the visas they have are often being revoked.
If by "be with you" you mean marriage and you have the funds to do so, I very cautiously would recommend getting her to Colombia or another visa friendly country (at least it seems those flights are still operational) and apply for a K-1 visa or even getting married there and returning to the United States as a couple. Researching these options are far beyond the scope of this answer, I am afraid.
"getting married there and returning to the United States as a couple" would require OP remaining out of the US for probably a year or two.
