MOSCOW, July 21. /TASS/. US former President Donald Trump has all chances to win the presidential race after President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection, if he makes no mistakes, a senior Russia lawmaker told TASS.

"If Trump makes no mistakes and if he is not ‘removes’ this way or another, I think his chances are high," deputy speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (upper house of parliament) Konstantin Kosachev said.

"The matter has long been not about Biden," he said. "The Americans have divided over ‘for’ or ‘against’ Trump. I think that whoever is nominated the Democrat candidate after Biden’s dropping out of the race, this division will stay in place. And everything will depend on how the Republicans organize and carry out this campaign."

Amid Trump’s growing popularity after the assassination attempt, Biden had next to no chance to win the presidential race, he wrote on his Telegram channel. He noted that Biden’s decision had been made earlier but they wanted to made it public at the right moment.

"Biden’s staking on Kamala Harris in no way means that she will be nominated the Democrat candidate - everything will be decided at the Democrat National Convention in August. Surprises are not excluded, since the vice president doesn’t look an ideal candidate," Kosachev added.
