Russian President Endorses Kamala Harris in U.S. Presidential Election
Russian President Should Stop Commenting on U.S. Elections: White House
Washington/Moscow: In a recent statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a controversial comment regarding the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, expressing support for Kamala Harris. The White House has responded by advising the Russian leader to refrain from commenting on U.S. electoral matters.
During a public event, President Putin remarked that, given that President Joe Biden is advocating for Kamala Harris, Russia might as well extend its support to her as well. He characterized Harris as someone who always smiles and seems to be in a good position, in contrast to former President Donald Trump, who, according to Putin, imposed more sanctions on Russia than any other U.S. president before him.
Putin suggested that if Kamala Harris were to assume the presidency, she might not follow the same policies as Trump. However, he added that the American people will choose their president, and Russia will respect their decision.
In response, White House spokesperson John Kirby criticized Putin’s comments. Kirby stated that Russian President Putin should stop making statements about U.S. elections. He emphasized that Putin and other foreign entities should not involve themselves in the electoral processes of the United States or endorse any candidates.
Additional Context:
This incident reflects ongoing tensions between Russia and the United States, particularly concerning election interference and international relations. The U.S. has previously accused Russia of meddling in its elections, and comments like those from President Putin only serve to heighten sensitivities around the issue.
Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, is a prominent figure in American politics, and her potential run for the presidency has drawn significant international attention. The reaction from the White House underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process and limiting external influences.
