Putin says he backs Harris over Trump, adds he's ready for talks with Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday appeared to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race against former President Trump.
According to multiple reports, Putin was questioned during the Eastern Economic Forum he attended in eastern Russia over how he viewed the upcoming U.S. election.
The Russian president, apparently smiling alongside the event’s moderator, said ultimately it was up to the American people to decide, but said that as President Biden has backed Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her."
"She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her," he added.

PUTIN CLAIMS HE PREFERS 'MORE PREDICTABLE' BIDEN OVER TRUMP
Earlier this year, Putin threw his support behind Biden before he dropped out of the race, claiming he preferred Biden to Trump as he is a more predictable candidate.
According to Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and author of "Putin’s Playbook," "The Russians don’t really endorse anyone, in the traditional sense."
"When it comes to preference, Putin and his regime prefer Kamala to deal with as a future U.S. president," Koffler told Fox News Digital. "Putin believes that he can manipulate Harris easily, unlike Trump, whom the Russians profiled as unpredictable and difficult to read."....
============================
Putin wants Harris because he knows he could easily intimidate her. Hector she even has a hard time with a friendly Dana Bash interview Putin would destroy her.
