No, unfortunately, this issue is now actually going to hurt Biden. Opinions are shifting much more rapidly than expected, but unless it’s overwhelming, he’s in a no-win scenario. The best hope at this point is that opinion continues to change rapidly, and Biden follows suit. But even that’s only damage control. Too many are against Israel’s genocide to ignore, and too many are pro-Israel’s genocide to ignore. Either way he’s going to lose votes.
He could have threaded the needle by still supporting Israel , but stopping arms shipments and funds. But here we are. I still think he can steer the ship, but, yeah, he’s gonna lose votes. On the bright side, Trump’s numbers among Republicans are depressed too.
