Venus is always close to the sun, so when it can be seen, it is only just after sunset or just before sunrise. By midnight the Venus will be below the horizon, so it would not be possible to see it.
If you live closer to the poles, say Alaska for example, then you might be able to see the Sun at midnight near the summer solstice. If Venus is close to the sun and the Sun has just dropped below the horizon, then maybe you can Venus at midnight.
For example, in mid-May of 2031 if you are in Fairbanks, Alaska, Venus doesn't set! At midnight it is 16 degrees above the horizon in Gemini. Use a planetarium program to verify or try this. Go to www.heavens-above.com. Set or change your current location to Fairbanks, Alaska. Then find the link to "Whole Sky Chart". Set the time to May 16, 2031 at 23:58 p.m.

Venus is an inferior planet, meaning it orbits closer to the Sun than Earth does. As a result, Venus reaches its highest point in the sky, known as its greatest elongation, in the evening or morning hours, not at midnight. This is why it is difficult to see Venus at midnight.

Which planets are never seen at midnight?
The planet Mercury can never be in the sky at your local midnight. Mercury's orbit is so small that as seen from the earth, it's always near the sun. So if the sun has been down for a while, then Mercury also must be down. Venus can be seen later (or earlier) than Mercury, but it's still inside the Earth's orbit and therefore can't be seen at midnight either.
