All you need is 2 (as you said votes) people out of over 150 million voters who switch from voting for the Democratic POTUS candidate (now it is Harris, before it was Biden) to voting for RFK Jr to make your statement a false one.

Biden's percentage total would drop a point or two when RFK jr was included but Trump's was always lower.

Kamala alleviates the age issue, but Trump's still nuts.
