I'm not sure anyone who still can be considered a “Trump supporter” is swayable; on the other hand, if Biden is seen as politicizing prosecutorial decisiones it’ll lose a bunch of Biden supporters.
It's also questionable how much influences Biden’s preferences have at Justice since his AG nominee hasn't been confirmed and everyone at levels requiring Senate confirmation there is a Trump carryover (though, to be fair, the Acting AG was appointed from within by Biden and wasn't out of order of seniority, IIRC, so he has exert what influence he can to select leadership given the constraints he faces.)
