Putin Shares Which U.S. Candidate He Wants To Win The 2024 Election

Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned on Wednesday that he would favor Joe Biden to win the 2024 election in comparison with the front-runner of the Republican major, Donald Trump, calling the Democratic president a “more predictable” chief.

“Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin mentioned in an interview with Russian state media, based on The Associated Press. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”

But Trump appeared to assume Putin truly praised him.

“President Putin of Russia has just given me a great compliment, actually,” Trump mentioned throughout a rally in Charleston, South Carolina.

He continued: “A lot of people said, ‘Oh, gee, that’s too bad.’ No, no, that’s a good thing. And, of course, he would say that.”

Putin’s remarks seem curious given Biden has repeatedly criticized him, and earlier this week condemned Trump for saying that he would permit Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies in the event that they don’t meet his protection spending necessities.

“No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator,” Biden mentioned. “Let me say this as clearly as I can: I never will.”

During one other a part of Wednesday’s interview, Putin mentioned Tucker Carlson was softer than he anticipated in his questioning throughout their two-hour sitdown in Moscow final week.

“To be honest, I thought that he would behave aggressively and ask so-called sharp questions,” he mentioned. “I was not just prepared for this, I wanted it, because it would give me the opportunity to respond in the same way.”
