Harris swipes at Trump on Russia: ‘Always nice to spend time with supporters on the campaign trail’

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Friday suggested that President Trump was going to spend time with “supporters” after the president said he was considering going to Russia’s May Day Parade next year.

“Always nice to spend time with supporters on the campaign trail,” the 2020 presidential hopeful tweeted in reference to Trump’s comments, jabbing at him over his relationship with Russia.

Trump indicated Friday that he would like to accept Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to the May 9 event, but said he might not because it is during the presidential campaign season. {mosads}

Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report of his investigation into Russia’s election interference, released earlier this year, found that Russia aimed to help Trump win the 2016 election, but did not establish that there was a criminal conspiracy by the Trump campaign. 

Trump has faced criticism for his closeness with Putin, including after he said it was “possible” he would invite Putin to next year’s Group of Seven summit.

Harris is among more than a dozen people running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
