Teasing Putin says Russia backs Kamala Harris, cites her 'infectious' laugh
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Russia wants Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday in a teasing comment that cited her "infectious" laugh as a reason to prefer her over Donald Trump.
Putin made the ironic remark a day after the U.S. Justice Department charged two Russian media executives over an alleged illegal scheme to influence the November election with pro-Russian propaganda.
He continued, “She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that she is doing well.” His comments about Harris’ infectious laughter were interpreted by some as a mocking gesture, especially given former US President Donald Trump’s frequent critiques of Harris’ public demeanor.
