Putin backs Harris for US president
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he supported Kamala Harris in November´s US presidential election, an apparent wry remark that led to a renewed call from Washington for the Kremlin to “stop interfering”.
Putin was speaking a day after the United States issued indictments accusing Moscow of vote interference.
The Kremlin leader frequently comments on political and social issues in the United States, often in a mocking way.
He said last year that the US political system was “rotten” and that Washington could not lecture other countries about democracy.
US officials have repeatedly warned of efforts by foreign powers to meddle in the upcoming US election, accusing Moscow of seeking to influence US ballots dating back to the 2016 contest between Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“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.
