Vice Presidents had very little cachet before Dick Cheney, so Pence - at least until January 6 - arguably represented a return to normalcy. (John Nance Garner, FDR's first running mate, famously described the office as "not worth a bucket of warm piss.")

It's certainly plausible that Trump now cares nothing at all about a running mate, but since attacking Harris is one of his few potential appeals to swing voters, he'd be foolish not to make the most of it.
