I only think a few people at this point who were actually going to get out and vote anyway were going to have their candidate preference change. Not zero, but only a few.
But this will also energize more Harris supporters and de-energize (on balance) Trump supporters. (I say "on balance" because a few Trumpy sickos might be more energized by that hate.)

The "black guy" and "watermelon" bit was equally as nauseating. We should not let it be forgotten.
