Putin Expresses Preference for Harris Over Trump, Citing Her 'Infectious, Expressive' Laugh
Putin's Preference for Harris
During an interview at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his preference for Vice President Kamala Harris to win the upcoming election. This comes after Russia's previous support for Joe Biden, who has now endorsed Harris. "Our favorite, if I may say so, was the current president, Mr. Biden," Putin said, adding that since Biden had advised his supporters to back Harris, Russia would do the same.
An Infectious Laugh
Putin commented on Harris's laugh, describing it as "so infectious and expressive, it shows she’s doing well." He further noted that if Harris is doing well, she might refrain from imposing the kind of restrictions and sanctions against Russia that were characteristic of Trump's presidency.
Reaction to Putin's Comments
The remarks by Putin are likely to be dismissed as a joke by the Harris campaign, while Trump may use them to deflect longstanding accusations by Democrats that his campaign is backed by Russia. Sky News’ Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett suggested that Putin's comments were more likely an attempt at mischief-making than a serious statement of fact.
Kremlin Spokesman's Remarks
Earlier this week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked by pro-Russia TV reporter Pavel Zarubin about Russia's preferred candidate. Peskov responded that they had no specific candidate, but noted that Democrats were generally more predictable. He also dismissed Trump’s claim that he could end the war with Ukraine within 24 hours.
