During the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russian President Vladimir Putin shared his opinion on the upcoming US presidential election. He stated that he prefers Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, and praised her for her "infectious laugh". This statement comes after Putin had previously expressed his support for President Joe Biden, who he described as a "more experienced and predictable person".
Putin explained that he respected Biden's decision to endorse Harris as his successor and admired her positive attitude. He noted that her "infectious laugh" suggests that everything is going well for her and that he finds it admirable. Harris, who is of Indian descent, is the first Asian American and African American candidate for the top US post.
When asked if he had a favorite candidate in the election now that Biden had dropped out, Putin replied that it was not up to Russia to choose a favorite. He stated that this responsibility lies with the American voters. Putin also mentioned that it has been a while since he has had direct contact with Western European or US leaders.
He also mentioned that Biden had previously told his supporters to support Harris in the race, and so Moscow would do the same and root for the Vice President in November. Putin also expressed the possibility that Harris' positive demeanor could mean that she would not impose as many sanctions on Russia as former US President Donald Trump did during his term.
In conclusion, Putin stated that ultimately, the decision lies with the American people and that Russia will respect their choice. He acknowledged that Biden had been "removed" from the race, but Moscow will support Harris as she continues in the race for the US presidency.
