President Biden is struggling to hold the Democratic Party coalition together as voters in battleground states become increasingly divided over the Israel-Hamas war.

Biden has faced intense pressure from his left flank over the U.S. alliance with Israel as it conducts war with Hamas. Biden vowed in a CNN interview Wednesday that the U.S. government would withhold weapons from Israel if it goes forward with its invasion of Rafah, Hamas' last stronghold in Gaza.

"It’s starting to seem as if he is supporting the wrong side," a Democratic voter from Pennsylvania, Dovid Jacobowitz, told NBC News.

"It’s a step in the right direction," Young Democrats of Arizona President Ricardo Serna told NBC of the weapons leverage.

DEMOCRATS BLOW UP AT BIDEN FOR HALTING WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL

"But there needs to be a much more permanent solution to this if we don’t want Donald Trump to be re-elected in November," he continued. "And I fear that unless that happens, we’re going to be seeing another Donald Trump presidency."

Biden's announcement was viewed as betrayal by some Democrats, however, including Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

"Hard disagree and deeply disappointing," Fetterman said in response to Biden's claims that he would potentially halt shipments.

Other lawmakers backed Biden's announcement.
