Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race against former President Donald Trump during the Eastern Economic Forum in eastern Russia. Putin stated that as President Biden has backed Harris, Russia would support her candidacy. He praised Harris for her expressive laughter, indicating his preference for her as a future U.S. president.
Putin's support for Harris is seen as a strategic move, as he believes he can manipulate her more easily compared to Trump, whom he considered unpredictable. This apparent endorsement is viewed as a tactic to influence and unbalance the U.S. political landscape.
