I know at least 3 friends who are not voting for Biden, over Gaza. My guess is they all abstain entirely. They probably won't matter, because they're in California.
I know several "closet-Conservatives" (working in tech, that's pretty common) who seem to be split pretty evenly on whether Trump is a positive or negative to them, but only one has expressed interest in a specific non-Trump candidate, which was Ramaswamy (and in 2016, Yang). 2 of them moved to Texas from California, over the past presidential term.
Family member-wise, most of them- sadly- are Trumpers, and not malleable. They're pretty geographically-dispersed.
The exceptions are my and my partner's dads, who are never-Trumper Republicans, who both voted Blue in 2016. They both consider themselves "Eisenhower Republicans" (smdh). They'd both switch back to voting Red with a non-Trump candidate.
