Biden, however, said it was alright and continued answering questions.
The vice president told Mic.com that he "would like to see a woman elected" president. He said he doesn't believe that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is held to a higher standard because she's a woman.
"No, I don't think she's held to a higher standard, and this country is ready for a woman. There's no problem, we're going to be able to elect a woman in this country," Biden said. "I would like to see a woman elected."
Biden said that Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., was not being sexist when he said Clinton was unqualified to be president.
"That's totally different," the vice president responded. "They're both totally qualified to be president. They both get into a fight. Campaigns will do this. It's like saying, you know, 'She's dead wrong,' or her saying, 'He's dead wrong' on an issue."
Biden continued, "The president and I are not going to endorse because we both, when we ran said, 'Let the party decide.' But gosh almighty, they're both qualified. Hillary's overwhelmingly qualified to be president."
According to CBS News, Clinton has accrued 1,755 delegates, while Sanders lags behind at 1,059.
