My hunch is both the Trump and Biden campaigns know this election is gonna be 100% about turnout and enthusiasm. No one's changing their minds or anything. Coney Barrett is a play to gin up enthusiasm among the Evangelicals and to a lesser extent TradCaths. Probably smart - give Evangelicals a reason to think they might be getting close to overturning Roe, and they will definitely come out to vote.
The Republicans need to flip two Karens in the senate, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski so they pick a Karen to SCOTUS. I guess that was the calculation
