Only one of the donors said they thought Biden should stay in the race, this person said.
All the others made it very clear that they believed Biden needed to drop out of the race, if the party wanted to defeat Trump in November.
People who spoke to CNBC for this story were granted anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive matter.
Their goal is to convince lawmakers to publicly call on Biden to end his reelection campaign, according to over half a dozen people familiar with the matter.
