A prominent Democratic donor worried about the party’s chances of winning the presidency emailed dozens of fans of Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, urging them to remain prepared to donate if Biden jumps into the race.

“We cannot afford to lose the White House,” Bartmann wrote in the email, seen by Reuters.
