Description

You know that in 2012 America had a presidential election– Mitt Romney versus Barack Obama.
But did you know Russia had one, too?
And it happens again in 2024 -- both America and Russia have presidential elections.
Russia’s presidents serve six-year terms … So the last time the U.S and Russia both held presidential elections in the same year was 2012 .. and Putin was a candidate both times.
In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Russia and Putin are a hot topic.
But what about 2012?
As you’ll hear in this week’s episode of C-SPAN’s “The Weekly” … in 2012 presidential candidates also had lots to say about a country and a president it seems we’re always talking about -- Russia and Putin.
