No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)

Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.

It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
