    It will take more than a handful to flip NYS. Biden won last time by just under 2 million votes

      Despite that one staffer’s bombast, the place where RFK Jr matters is probably in the swing states, rather than NY. Siphoning off a percentage point more Biden voters than Trump voters in one of those would have a pretty meaningful impact.
