Deep Clone on a Serializable Class?

I am trying to clone the values for an item parsed from JSON. When I go to copy, value by value, and return a new instance of the class, which does not derive from any other class, I see all null values for the item I tried to clone. When I Debug.Log the values of the item from the database object, I get the correct values, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do a deep clone for a non-monobehaviour class.

My Attempt's Class

 [System.Serializable]
 public class ItemBase
 {
     public string ID;
     public string Icon;
     public string Name;
     public bool Consumable;
     public int Cooldown;
     public int Duration;
     public string EffectDescription;
     public string Description;
     public string SFX;
     public StatBonus Bonuses;
 
     public void Clone(ItemBase newItem)
     {
         this.Bonuses = new StatBonus();
 
         this.Consumable = newItem.Consumable;
         this.Cooldown = newItem.Cooldown;
         this.Description = newItem.Description;
         this.Duration = newItem.Duration;
         this.EffectDescription = newItem.EffectDescription;
         this.Icon = newItem.Icon;
         this.ID = newItem.ID;
         this.Name = newItem.Name;
         this.SFX = newItem.SFX;
 
         this.Bonuses.Attack = newItem.Bonuses.Attack;
         this.Bonuses.HP = newItem.Bonuses.HP;
         this.Bonuses.Tolerance = newItem.Bonuses.Tolerance;
         this.Bonuses.Stamina = newItem.Bonuses.Stamina;
     }
 }

Could the fact that it is not derived from Monobehaviour that is causing issues?
