The Latest: Biden Says Sanders Comments Not Sexist

--CLIP
1:40 p.m.

Vice President Joe Biden says Bernie Sanders wasn’t being sexist when he said Hillary Clinton wasn’t qualified to be president.

Biden defended both Sanders and Clinton in an interview with the website Mic. He says they’re both “totally qualified.”

Sanders last week questioned Clinton’s qualifications in light of donations a super PAC supporting her has received. Biden says that kind of attack is simply what campaigns do. He said Sanders never said Clinton wasn’t qualified because she’s a woman.

Biden also said that Clinton isn’t being held to a higher standard because of her gender. He says the U.S. is ready for a female president and that he wants to see one.

But Biden affirmed that he and President Barack Obama won’t endorse either candidate in the Democratic primary. He says the party should decide its candidate.

I'd agree with that. She is actually trying to be held to a *lower standard* by continually having her surrogates cry foul every time Sanders criticizes her judgment.
