In a stunning turn of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared his preference for Joe Biden over former President Trump in the 2024 U.S. election. According to Putin, he favors the “more experienced, more predictable” Biden as a leader. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the conservative community, as they scramble to make sense of Putin’s unexpected endorsement.

Putin’s comments seemed to suggest that he believes Biden, with his decades-long political career, would be more amenable to Russia’s interests. This has raised concerns among conservatives who fear that a Biden presidency would result in concessions to Russia, potentially ceding ground in crucial geopolitical matters.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters were quick to dismiss Putin’s preference as a ploy to undermine Trump’s candidacy. They pointed to Trump’s tough stance on Russia during his presidency, including halting the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, as evidence that Putin had ulterior motives in expressing his support for Biden.
The revelation has also sparked a wave of disbelief and frustration among conservatives on social media, who were quick to highlight the perceived inconsistency in mainstream media’s portrayal of Putin’s statements. Many suggested that if Putin had expressed similar sentiments about Trump, the media would have spun it as evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russia, yet with Biden, the response was decidedly less accusatory. This perceived bias in media coverage only served to fuel the sense of betrayal and confusion among conservative voters.
As the 2024 election continues to heat up, Putin’s endorsement of Biden has injected a new layer of complexity and uncertainty into the political landscape. It remains to be seen how this unexpected development will impact the race and whether it will sway conservative voters’ opinions of either candidate.
