A resurfaced video from last year’s presidential debate is reigniting discussion about Kamala Harris’s criticism of Donald Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin. During the debate, Harris sharply questioned Trump’s friendly stance toward the Russian leader, calling him a “dictator” and warning that Trump’s foreign policy might dangerously lean toward authoritarianism. Her remark, which seemed to be a political jab at the time, now feels prophetic as reports hint at a possible meeting between Trump and Putin.

Social media reactions have been mixed, with some praising Harris’s foresight, while others dismiss it as partisan rhetoric. Trump’s recent ambiguous comments about Putin and Russia further fuel the debate, especially his refusal to label Putin as a dictator. His controversial statements on Ukraine also raise concerns about his stance on global democracy.
