“Biden is a good man who has served his country well, but the stakes are far too high to allow timidity to determine our course of action,” she wrote in an e-mail to the community. “If Biden does not step down the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain. The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire.”
