Jane Sanders also said in an interview with The Daily Beast she hopes Clinton and her voter base will support Bernie if he becomes the party's nomination for president.

And in turn, Sanders fired back with statements claiming Clinton wasn't qualified.

"I don't believe that she is qualified if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest loans," Sanders said.

Both candidates later said they weren't trying to say the other wasn't "qualified."

And now, it seems, Jane Sanders is hoping to smooth the waters, while maintaining there is a "stark difference" between her husband and Clinton.
