"Putin Favors Biden Over Trump for Predictability"

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed a preference for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, citing Biden as a more experienced and predictable politician, but stated a willingness to work with any U.S. president. This marks Putin's first public comment on the 2024 U.S. election race. The interview also touched on Biden's mental fitness and Trump's approach to U.S. relations with allies. Putin's remarks come amidst strained U.S.-Russia relations, with Biden leading the Western response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
