Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova spoke on her Telegram channel about the US elections, recalling the “dashing story” of the recount in 2000 during the presidential race between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore.
Thus, the Foreign Ministry spokesman commented on the statement of the American leader Joe Biden. Earlier, the US president said that the main battle in the elections is not over who gets the right to vote or to make it easier for those who have the right to vote, but over the counting of votes. According to Zakharova, in the media these words were perceived as a sensation, but this is not news for a long time.
“One recount in 2000 after the Bush-Gore presidential race was worth a lot. To aid democracy, the Bush team recruited John Bolton, who “got it right.” The story was dashing “, – wrote the diplomat.
According to her, when studying the ballots, attention was paid to the distance between the slot from the hole punch and the column for voting. They considered them by hand, for a month the United States was waiting for the election results.
As a result, Bush was elected, and Bolton later received the post of Undersecretary of State, and then – the US Permanent Representative to the UN.
“What does the hole punch have to do with it? And despite the fact that in the state of Florida, on whose votes the fate of the White House depended then, in those years it was the official way of expressing the will of citizens. Progress, after all, “- concluded the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
In late November, it was reported that Biden was not abandoning plans to be re-elected in 2024. The 79-year-old politician is going to run for a second term, despite the drop in his ratings.
On November 20, it was reported that the fresh rating of the head of the White House was called a blow in the stomach. The popularity of the current head of the United States has broken an anti-record. The 46th president’s support was only 36%.
