Former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has said she would "absolutely" support a bid by Joe Biden for a second term as US President and she believes he would "defeat" Donald Trump again.
She said: "If he wants to run and he is apparently going to, then I am 100% behind him."
The former Democratic presidential candidate said she is "all in" for Joe Biden to run again for the White House in 2024.
Speaking in an interview broadcast on RTÉ's The Late Late Show, Mrs Clinton said she thinks President Biden "doesn’t get the credit for all he’s accomplished".
"I have a theory, which is partly that we've kind of gotten used to having leaders who are performers, entertainers, if you will. He's just a nose to the grindstone, get work done kind of a leader."
On Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton said she takes "no joy, personal or political" in what is happening to the former US President, who recently appeared before a New York court to face charges over a hush-money payment to an adult film star.
"It's a really sad reflection on our country and our democracy that someone with his, you know, attitudes, his behaviour, his beliefs, his record would be running for president again."
Asked if she was horrified by chants of "lock her up, lock her up" at a Donald Trump rally during the 2016 election campaign, Mrs Clinton said: "I wasn't because I knew there was no basis to it."
"I thought it was a perfect example of psychological projection. You know, Trump will accuse people of what he's doing. You know, once you kind of get into the understanding that he's really projecting onto others what he himself either has done or wants to do, his behaviour begins to make a lot more sense to you."
However, Hillary Clinton believes if the Republican party primaries were held today, "Trump would be the nominee."
"Even if he's indicted one or two more times, I think he would still be the nominee, and I think Joe Biden will defeat him," she said.
On the Russian President, Mrs Clinton described Vladimir Putin as "a notorious misogynist."
When asked by presenter Ryan Tubridy what she saw when she looked Mr Putin in the eye when she met him, she replied: "a stone-cold killer."
"He was to me clearly a KGB agent who mourned the break-up of the Soviet Union, who had a messianic complex about restoring Russia's greatness to make him, you know, the Tsar.
"And I was very weary and skeptical of him from the beginning, and he obviously knew that I had his measure and was determined I would never be president," she said.
Asked if she thought Mr Putin was active in preventing her from winning the US presidential election, she said "we know he was."
"We know from very unimpeachable evidence that the military intelligence unit known as the GRU was tasked with doing everything it could in an information active measures warfare way to bring me down," she added.
The former US Secretary of State said she believed Vladimir Putin disliked her so much because she was "willing to contradict him or to debate him."
When asked if she personally had any experience of his misogyny, Hillary Clinton recalled a situation involving former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"He knew that she had a fear rooted in childhood of big dogs. So having a meeting, like you and I are sitting across from one another and having a conversation, he brought a gigantic dog into the meeting. Just to kind of intimidate her and undermine her and create an uncomfortable situation for her," she said.
She also described the Russian President as "an expert at what we call manspreading, you know where he opens his legs, he's also obviously into mansplaining."
In conclusion, Hillary Clinton said Vladimir Putin "is just someone who treats nearly everybody with contempt, but he has particular, you know, dismissiveness toward women."
