Biden's policies regarding the Israel-Gaza war were confusing and ambiguous, and no doubt, a significant factor in our loss.
We're they his policies or that of the Democrats? It amounted to giving Netanyahu all the weapons he wanted, but asking him nicely not to use them so extensively. To the world, the US looked foolish and complicit in the bombings of Gaza, whether the offensives were justified or not.
Making Biden look bad was definitely part of Bibi's plan.
If Biden had dropped out earlier (like I wish he had done), the I-G war would have been a major topic for candidates in an open primary. However, the candidates would still potentially have been in the position of having to justify Biden's decisions. (Being Biden's VP would have made this harder on Kamala than anyone else.)

Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows? We might have lost even worse.
