Trump and the death of Navalny: Party colleague warns of “Putin wing” of the Republicans. Navalny embodied resistance to Putin's regime more than any other Russian opposition figure.
His death in a prison camp at the age of 47 was seen as a turning point, signaling that dissent would no longer be tolerated in Russia. “What happened to Navalny is further evidence of Putin's brutality. Nobody should be fooled,” Biden said on Friday. Nikki Haley, Trump's remaining challenger in the GOP presidential primary, questioned whether the former president believed Putin was responsible for Navalny's death.
