Obviously,.I can only speak for me on this one, plus I am not living in the US, so I wouldn't extrapolate from this to others
I want to know what I'm getting, from any candidate. Trump, right now is the devil we know. We also know that a lot of the old guard members of his previous administration are gone, fired or retired. There won't be as much to hold him back this time. His personal whims will dictate a lot of things. I can do the math when it comes to him, maybe a Dem. controlles house or senate can keep him in check until he hits his lame duck period. Heck, fractured republican party might even do that.
I don't know what I get with Harris. Former DA, Attourney General, low profile/sidelined as a VP. (contrast to Cheney, there was a VP who let you know what you were getting).
So, what does possibly 8 years of a Harris administration look like? That's what I'm waiting to find. That's why I don't like her mushy/evasive interview, why I think ahe is a bad candidate .
You know the saying, when someone tells you who they are believe them? There should.be another when, when someone won't tell you who they are, don't believe them.
I appreciate your relatively insult-free inquiry on the topic. It's rare in this thread.

You know exactly what you will get with Harris, it will be roughly the same as every other Dem President since JFK, the US will get a bit richer or poorer depending on world events but not much will really change and at the end she will step down, the richest most powerful country in the world that has rebounded from Covid and Ukraine better than any other country in the world, has economically defeated China and Russia under Biden/Harris will continue to kick the **** out of its economic enemies, the world will remain stable.
Under Trump you get no guarantee of anything other than chaos, the loss of US's prestige and a vast amount of war and turmoil in the world, we may not like the US as a big brother telling the world what to do but the world with no big brother looks like the 1850's to 1945, endless endless war and death only this time with nukes, enjoy!!
