The statement of US President Joe Biden that Vice President Kamala Harris is smarter than him can be regarded as another sign that Harris may soon become the head of state, said Elena Panina, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
Earlier, Biden, introducing Harris to employees of the Atlanta Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that she was smarter than him.
“The head of the American state has never compared himself with the vice president in this way. Perhaps this is another sign that the process of transferring power from Biden to Harris will start in the very near future,” Panina told RIA Novosti.
In her opinion, such a self-critical statement by Biden “is associated not only with a sober assessment of intellectual abilities, but, possibly, with belated regret due to impermissible statements about the president.
Earlier, Biden, when asked by the media whether he considers his Russian counterpart a “killer,” replied that he did. He said that Vladimir Putin would “answer” for allegedly meddling in the American elections. In response to the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation to talk, the White House said that Biden and Putin had already talked and that the United States was in contact with the Russian leadership.
Putin, commenting on Biden’s statement, wished him good health and remembered the childish expression: “Whoever calls his name is called that.” He noted that this is not just a joke, but an expression with meaning. According to him, in the history of every nation and every state there are many difficult, dramatic and bloody events, and “when we evaluate other people, or when we evaluate even other states, other peoples, we always seem to look as if in a mirror,” “we always there we see ourselves “,” we always shift onto another person what we ourselves breathe, what we are in essence “.
