Vladimir Putin made a surprising statement ahead of the U.S. elections, but his tone carried a clear hint of sarcasm. He shocked many by claiming to support Kamala Harris in the race for the presidency.
Vladimir Putin Endorses Kamala?
“Our ‘favorite’ was President Biden, but he was removed from the race. He recommended his followers to support Kamala Harris. Well, we will, we will support her. She laughs so expressively and contagiously that it must mean she’s doing well,” Putin quipped.

Who Will Win the U.S. Election?
Currently, the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is extremely close, especially in swing states. National polls show Harris holding a slight lead of 3.1 points over Trump. However, Trump leads or is tied in several critical states, making the outcome uncertain due to the U.S. Electoral College system.
In key battlegrounds such as North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, recent polls show Trump either slightly ahead or tied with Harris. For instance, Trump leads by 1% in both Arizona and North Carolina. On the flip side, Harris holds a narrow lead in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Putin’s True Favorite?
While Putin took a jab at Donald Trump, criticizing him for imposing “more restrictions and sanctions against Russia than any other president,” many analysts believe this is a diversion tactic. Some argue that the Russian government may still prefer a Trump victory, as they have been linked to supporting his campaign in previous elections.
Despite Putin’s public statements, his true intentions remain up for debate.
