NY feels like a state that could be swingy in the 2030s or early 2040s if the GOP plays its cards right. The consequences would be massive for the Democrats (its like the GOP losing FL) and would certainly mean that the GOP has a lead in PA and WI at minimum. It would also mean the GOP took a northern path instead of stayed with its southern path. So a world where GA is D+7 but NY is R+1.5 is possible (and very cursed), trends don't mean everything, WV was a strongly blue state but something snapped and its now on track to being the GOP's best state after the Mountain West states of ID and WY!
But the GOP needs to cultivate a competent, more moderate wing of the party in NY to make it competitive. Democratic incompetence and mistakes could aid the GOP.
