You are probably right about those who are for Trump simply because they won't share any of the concerns Arab Americans have, just like with any minority that votes for Trump, they tend to be out of touch with their group. But for Biden I think not, because until October 2023 Biden or at least the Democratic Party had mainstream support among Arab Americans and the ADC has been around for decades. But since then there has been a true backlash, Biden lost people who were passionate supporters, campaigners and donors.
