On February 21, 2024, Arroyo garnered controversy by suggesting on Fox's ''[[The Big Weekend Show]]'' that the recent release of [[Donald Trump]]'s $400 sneakers is connected to a loss of support for President [[Joe Biden]] among Black voters, because the former is "connecting with Black America - because they love sneakers!".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Beyer|first=Elizabeth|title=Trump sneakers an effort to connect with Black voters: Fox News contributor|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/02/24/trump-sneakers-black-voters-fox-news/72730360007/|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=February 24, 2024|access-date=February 28, 2024}}</ref><ref name="MJS column">{{cite news|last=Causey|first=James|title=Are gold high tops key to Trump win?
