I am more concerned about Justin Amash running for President than I am about NY’s primary.

I would think he'd take more votes away from trump than Biden. I still don't understand how he'll get enough signatures to be on the ballot in all 50 states.

I am already hearing some Bernie people saying they won't vote at all. From what I can see of the libertarians most of them support Trump. It is hard to judge.

edit

There is one demographic that could complicate the picture in the state, which was famously determined in 2016 by nearly 11,000 votes: a large Arab-American population. Could Mr. Amash, the son of a Palestinian refugee father and a Syrian immigrant mother, pull enough Arab-American voters from Mr. Biden to tilt the state to Mr. Trump? It’s doubtful. At the moment in Michigan, Mr. Biden holds a solid polling advantage over Mr. Trump. Arab-Americans were in 2016 and are likely this year to remain quite anti-Trump. In fact, some conservative Arab-American Republicans in the state could flip from Mr. Trump to Mr. Amash.
