I don't think it was necessarily worse, this would have been entirely fine for a typical September week. But he needed a good final stretch to juice his own turnout. Not changing anyone's mind, just changing how committed people are to go through the effort of voting... you've got to spend that final stretch convincing people not just why you're better than your opponent, but why it's important to them that they vote for you.
If anything I think his final week is more likely to have juiced Harris's turnout, and Harris really honed in on messaging about the importance of the issues at stake. I can understand how someone in the MAGA sphere sees this as existential... but it's difficult to get into that reluctant Trump voter mindset, so who knows?
