Ronny Chieng Spots Where Putin Is In Real Danger Ahead Of Russian Election

The Daily Show backed up Russian President Vladimir Putins prediction of valued and meaningful votes in the countrys upcoming election, where Putin is widely expected to be elected to a fifth term.

The vote for the countrys president, which will take place from Friday to Sunday, is all but guaranteed to be a win for Putin in a race where most of the opposition is either dead, jailed, exiled, barred from running or simply token figures, CNN noted .

Guest co-host Michael Kosta , on Thursdays edition of the show, turned to correspondent Ronny Chieng to break down a tight race with an obvious front-runner: Putin.

The red areas are where Putin is winning so far, Chieng said in front of a predominantly red map of Russia.

Hes doing well with urban voters, farmers, dead people, dead people with college degrees and women inside of larger women inside of larger women.

Kosta asked Chieng if the DemocRusski 2024 team could just call the race for Putin before the correspondent turned down the request.

Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves, OK. Take a look at this area right here just outside of Moscow, said Chieng as the map zoomed into an area showing Putin taking 99% of the vote versus 1% of the vote for others.

You can see hes in real danger of falling below 99% in this region, so were gonna have to watch that as the night progresses, he added.

Ronny, I think that 1% just went down to 0%, said Kosta after the results were updated.

Oh, oh, wow, it did, Chieng quipped. What a comeback for Putin. I told you anything can happen.
