DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is “not qualified” to be president of the United States.

During an interview on CNN Thursday, the Democratic front-runner criticized the presumptive Republican nominee, questioning his ability to handle complex foreign policy challenges and decrying his “irresponsible, reckless dangerous comments.”

Clinton said she knows “how hard this job is” and added that she had “concluded he is not qualified to be president of the United States.”

Looking ahead to the general election, Clinton asserted that she “will be the nominee for my party,” noting her lead in delegates and votes over Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders. On division among Democrats, she said she was committed to party unity, but argued that Sanders will have to play a role in bringing Democrats together.
