I assume this is about the rafting theory?
Back then, that stretch was ~900 miles across, so about 3 times the length of Lake Superior today. Not a trivial voyage by any means. But far from insurmountable.
Also, vegetation rafts can get big. Like really big. "The Great Raft" in Louisiana quite literally shaped the surrounding ecosystem before we removed it to ease commerce along the Mississippi River. Don't imagine a loose mass of vegetation. Imagine a gargantuan floating island with its own ecosystem.

Seems reasonable. Most South American mammals have closer genetic cousins to Africa than North America.

My understanding that 500 years ago when the humans arrived they bred with the rats and there and created the monkeys we see today.
