US Election: Putin 'Throws Weight' Behind Harris
Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Thursday, declared his support for the candidate of the Democratic Party in the upcoming US presidential election, Kamala Harris.
The backing has been seen as an apparent sarcastic remark a day after Washington accused Moscow of seeking to influence the vote.
Putin often comments on political and social issues in the United States with sarcasm.
He said last year that the US political system was “rotten” and that Washington could not lecture other countries about democracy.
“Firstly, (US President Joe) Biden recommended all his supporters support Mrs. Harris,” Putin said during a question-and-answer session at Russia’s Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
“Here, we are going to do that too, we’re going to support her,” he added, with a wry smile. She laughs so contagiously that it shows that everything is fine with her,” the Russian leader said.
“(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.”
