Vice President Joe Biden is all for a woman being elected president, he told Mic.
"This country's ready for a woman. There's no problem," he said. "We're going to be able to elect a woman in this country."
But should you think he's referring to one specific woman, you'd be way off base. After all, he and President Obama haven't endorsed any of the 2016 candidates, one of whom just so happens to be a woman named Hillary Clinton.
