I don't doubt that some may see it as a reason to stay home, despite that action directly contributing to aiding the re-election of Trump who is far worse on this issue (Muslim ban, moving the embassy, etc.) and just basically every other issue too. But I also feel like not supporting Israel would hurt him worse.

I think he's been taking a better tone of late by mentioning the plight of the Palestinians and working to get aid there but yeah he definitely still has some troubling language around it every now and then and his initial reaction wasn't super great either.

But that's just how US politicians are in general. If anything, I'd say Biden is clearing the bar of expectation I had here simply because I expected an even worse response.
