Hillary Clinton has told the BBC that Joe Biden was right to stand aside in the US presidential election after his stumbling debate performance against Donald Trump earlier this year.
"Once that debate happened, he could not recover and he did the right thing," she told Radio 4's Today programme.
She also said Democrats had not been effective in telling Trump supporters what they were doing to address their economic concerns.
In 2016, the former US secretary of state was unexpectedly defeated by Trump, who now faces Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in November's election, which polls suggest is extremely tight.
She said she saw Joe Biden a week before the debate and saw no reason then why he should step down but that all changed.
Clinton also said the future of democracy is at stake in this election and called on Harris to "defeat Donald Trump to break the fever that he has caused in our political system".
"The two candidates have presented extremely different agendas for where they want to take our country," Clinton said in the BBC interview, which came as she promotes her new memoir.
Trump has rejected the notion that he is a threat and said the real threat comes from the Democratic Party.
The election, Clinton said, would have repercussions far beyond the US including "whether or not we continue supporting Ukraine, whether we can get some kind of workable resolution in the Middle East and so much else".

"unexpectedly", bwahahahaha.
Such great memories of that night....
He was forced out by Pelosi
And the rest of the rat party.
I know. Seeing the looks on the faces of all those spoiled smug lefties was one of the happiest times of my life.
Jill has not forgotten this betrayal and is working to make sure that Kamala does not become president.
“Stand aside” is an interesting way to express “kicked to the curb”.
I guess “noble” now means a brain-dead idiot who is unable to lead.
H->! was right to be thrown into the back of the van and driven off.
Why is Komrade Kommie not forcing BiXiden to immediately force implement her now favored Trumpian policies on the Border and the Economy?
That just proves the rat party is an evil commie anti American organization.
Who gives a flying $hit what this old gas bag who killed Americans has to say or think.
Not me!
Stand aside....babbling and barely standing aside...
She is completely irrelevant as a leader except for the nefarious plans to be ingratiated into an evil, law breaking power structure...which , hubby. she, and Obama helped create...
Fortunately, ALL things must pass...I wonder if she will panic once she realizes her time is up.
Somebody needs to tell this old gusty windbag that nobody really cares what she thinks.
That's the kind of statement that DJT could run 24/7 in campaign ads in PA...NC...GA...AZ...NV...
Even with dementia Joetato seems more cogent than Kamalalala.
