Zeman says he hopes Harris will be worthy opponent to Trump, backs latter

Former Czech president Miloš Zeman says he hopes that Kamala Harris will be a worthy opponent to Donald Trump in upcoming US elections. Ms. Harris is in the frame to take on the Republican candidate after Democratic Party incumbent Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday.

Mr. Zeman told iDnes.cz that he continued to favour a Trump win in November.

Another former president, Václav Klaus, told the news site that Mr. Biden’s situation had been untenable. He said it was unclear what would happen next but that Mr. Trump was now likely to face a stronger opponent.
