Refusing to break with the administration over Israel/Palestine absolutely hurt them, too, IMO. It seems like she did horrible with Arab voters in swing states.
The response to this is "But Trump is worse!" Okay, but we're dealing with a lot of low-propensity voters here, who may not be all that tuned in to Trump's stance on Israel, but they know for damn sure what Biden's is.
