Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, citing her 'infectious' laugh as a reason for his preference over Donald Trump. This statement came shortly after the U.S. announced actions against Russian efforts to interfere in the election. Putin remarked that since President Joe Biden endorsed Harris following his withdrawal from the race, Russia would similarly support her candidacy. He humorously suggested that Harris's laughter indicated a positive outlook, implying she might be less aggressive with sanctions against Russia compared to Trump. Despite his mocking tone, Putin's comments come amidst serious allegations against Russian state media for attempting to sway the election in their favor. Ultimately, he stated that the decision rests with the American people and that Russia would respect their choice.
