Former American Idol contestant Clay Aiken is no longer supporting Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid.The singer spoke to CNN Thursday, announcing he would be backing Vice President Joe Biden, should Biden choose to seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for a third time.“To some extent, I kind of feel like Secretary Clinton is a leaky boat at this point and that concerns me as a Democrat,” Aiken told CNN.Aiken lost his bid to represent North Carolina’s second congressional district in Nov. 2014. He supported Hillary in 2008, and again earlier this year, but now cites concerns over Clinton’s appeal to moderate voters.“A lot of moderates have negative feelings towards her,” said Aiken.“I’ll get on a leaky boat going in the right direction before I’ll get on a strong boat going in the wrong direction,” he said, “But I really want a strong boat next year on the Democratic side and I think Joe Biden is a better candidate.”
Oooh, all those nautical metaphors are so manly!
