I'm pretty sure Biden is being coy here.
A good chunk of democrats still support Israel, but not so much that they'll count it against Biden if Bibi just keeps making enough of an ass of himself that it just happens to entrench backing Israel no matter what as a Republicans only issue.
Especially with how most American jews do not and have not supported Israel since its inception, (something Israelis and American Zionists are still pissed about since it black marked the central thesis of Israel's whole reason for existing)
This is something I wish more people understood. While most American Jews do consider Israel important to them, it's generally a broad cultural connection to the Levant. A minority of American Jews back the Israeli government, the apartheid they impose, or the violence they bring to Palestinians.
Similarly to how most American Muslims consider their ancestral homelands to be important to them, in addition to SA/Mecca, while not generally supporting the oppressive governments associated with those places.
Even many self-proclaimed American Zionists tend to define Zionism as merely agreeing with Israel's right to exist, and aren't endorsing the current wave of oppression against Gaza and the West Bank. Imho these people don't know enough about what Zionism really is, but that's more ignorance than malice.
America's allegiance to Israel is less about what American Jews want, and more about what Israeli lobbyists want.
