Russian President Vladimir Putin declared his support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris in an interview last Thursday.  “We had the current president, Mr. Biden, as our favorite, if I can call it that. But now he has been taken out of the race, but he recommended that all his allies support Mrs. Harris. That’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to support her,” Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia.  Putin further commented on Harris’ mannerisms, saying that “she has such an expressive and infectious laugh, it shows that she’s doing well.” He noted U.S. sanctions that were placed on Russia during the Trump administration and expressed hoped that Harris would “refrain from such measures.”  The Biden administration has also leveled sanctions against Russia, accusing the country of attempting to interfere with the November election via fake news sites and by making content that undermines support for Ukraine.  Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department say they have found 32 internet domains used by pro-Russian actors and the Russian government to “interfere and influence the outcome of our country’s elections.”  Some Democrats have dismissed Putin’s remarks about Harris. The Hill reports that Rep. Jake Auchincloss said Putin’s comments were “classic doublespeak and disinformation” and that Russians would prefer Trump “to be a stooge for them.”  Former President Donald Trump has been criticized by the Left for his relationship with the Russian leader. Since the 2016 election, the Left has repeatedly claimed that Russia has interfered on Trump’s behalf.  Although Trump referred to Putin positively when Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, Trump has asserted toughness against Russia, claiming in his recent debate with Biden that the war in Ukraine would never have happened were he in office.
