The race for the Democratic nomination took a negative turn, with front-runner Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders exchanging criticism over each other's qualifications for the presidency.
In press conferences, the rivals addressed the accusations, with Sanders vowing to fight back.
"This is not the type of politics that I wanna get in," he told journalists in Philadelphia. "But we'll get used to it fast. I'm not gonna get beat up. I'm not gonna get lied about."
Clinton, campaigning in New York City, sought to shift attention back to her Republican opponents, saying: "I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time, so let's keep our eye over what's at stake in this election."
It was a notable shift in tone for a primary contest that has remained largely civil. As the race moves toward the New York primary on April 19, the stakes are higher for both campaigns. Sanders' recent string of victories is complicating Clinton's efforts to march toward the general election in November.
Sanders told a crowd in Philadelphia on Wednesday that Clinton has been saying that he's "not qualified to be president."
"I don't believe that she is qualified if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest funds," he said, referring to a political action committee.
Clinton earlier in the day questioned Sanders' truthfulness and policy expertise.
In a discussion of Sanders in an interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News, Clinton was asked if "Bernie Sanders is qualified and ready to be president of the United States."
