| “That’s it!” announces a second. | |
| “No no no, that’s alright,” Biden says. But then he clarifies that he and the president are not endorsing anyone. | |

| Bill Clinton sought to move past a confrontation with black protesters while stumping for Hillary Clinton in New York City over the weekend, conceding amid stops in Harlem and Queens that the 1994 tough-on-crime bill he signed into law as president “overdid it” and threw too many non-violent offenders into lengthy prison sentences, writes the Guardian’s Sabrina Siddiqui and David Smith: | Bill Clinton sought to move past a confrontation with black protesters while stumping for Hillary Clinton in New York City over the weekend, conceding amid stops in Harlem and Queens that the 1994 tough-on-crime bill he signed into law as president “overdid it” and threw too many non-violent offenders into lengthy prison sentences, writes the Guardian’s Sabrina Siddiqui and David Smith: |
