Having previously favored a second term for Joe Biden, Putin said Russia now wants US Vice President Kamala Harris to win in November because she’d been endorsed by the incumbent Democrat.
“Biden was our favorite but he dropped out of the race,” Putin said in response to a question at the Eastern Economic Forum’s plenary session in Russia’s Vladivostok on Thursday.
“But he recommended that all of his supporters support Harris, so we will as well.”
'She laughs so contagiously that it shows that everything is fine with her,' the Russian leader said, as members of the public laughed.
'(Former US President Donald) Trump has imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed before, and if Harris is doing well, perhaps she will refrain from such actions.'
