Russian President Vladimir Putin described U.S. President Joe Biden as more "predictable" than former President Donald Trump, but said the Kremlin is prepared to work with whoever wins the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Asked in an interview broadcast on February 14 who Russia would like to see win -- the 81-year-old Democratic incumbent or Trump, 77 -- Putin said Biden is more experienced and predictable -- “an old school politician." He brushed aside questions about Biden's age and health, saying people were already talking about his "inabilities" when he met him three years ago, but he saw “nothing of the sort.”
