Melinda, a one-time Democrat, told CBS News’ Gayle King that she’s backing Biden again, and one of the big reasons the billionaire is backing the 81-year-old leader despite his dwindling poll numbers is because of the other candidates’ comments and policies regarding women.

“I’m surprised we weren’t more prepared but also, frankly, surprised we wasted so much time and the lack of leadership at a national level,” the Daily Mail quoted Melinda as saying.
