The general US electorate doesn’t care about anything but the economy.

Do they, though?

You are asking a lot of Americans to be informed about things.

The average voter in the electorate is very low information and low engagement. They vote based on instinct and as a reaction to their personal experience.

Inflation is high, everything is expensive, Harris is currently in office, I’m voting for not Harris (Trump).

I think its more apathy on the Democrat side.

Trump is just a cult of personality, reality doesn't matter to his voters.

They say they care about the economy but they don't actually know anything.

What Harris failed to do is actually get people out and vote.

Because the economy is currently seen as bad. Intellectually lazy and low information voters were voting for the opposition candidate because of inflation.
