Russia said on Wednesday that the turmoil surrounding the US election, which included President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the contest and an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, demonstrated the divisions in an American society that was in danger of “falling into a nosedive.”Former president Trump, the Republican candidate, was shot in the ear at a campaign rally on July 13, while Biden abandoned his reelection bid on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic party’s candidate. Asked directly by Reuters who she would prefer as U.S. president, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova did not express a clear preference.”The United States is now in a situation where they … wish to get through the current year without falling into a nosedive,” Zakharova said.
