Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the U.S. election, seemingly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump. During the Eastern Economic Forum, Putin noted that since President Biden has supported Harris, Russia would do the same. U.S. intelligence reports suggest Putin may still prefer a second Trump presidency. Russia allegedly interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections to bolster Trump. Russia has denied meddling in U.S. elections.
