It would be pointless to even try to persuade the trump electorate, by using an evidence-based argument, that the economy is robust, because the trump electorate (1) is impervious to facts outside their immediate personal perceptions, the inputs they receive from Fox, and the influences of social media; (2) has been told by trump that the economy is a wreck; and (3) must believe what trump says as a matter of faith to maintain membership in the tribe.
Not only pointless to argue the facts, but counter-productive as well. Biden tried for months, and failed miserably. And the harder he tried, the worse his poll numbers became. Harris wisely decided not waste the precious weeks of her late-starting campaign.
Not just the "Trump electorate," but anyone still undecided between Trump and Harris, or whether to vote at all, is motivated not by facts or reason, but by emotion.
