i think your first paragraph nailed it. Harris screwed her pooch. Instead of broadening to a more moderate VP, she went hard left. However, i believe the tendency of the undecided folks will be to pretty much throw their hands up in the air, and sit this one out. She blew an opportunity and showed poor judgment and decision-making. Kelly was a combat veteran, astronaut (takes some brains), more to moderate on the border problem, help with Arizona electoral votes. Shapiro would help with Pennsylvania electoral votes and bring in moderate voters, and aligning herself with The Idiot Squad narrowed her appeal even further. Gotta be some happy folks at Trump HQ.
