Tim Walz theme song and David Plouffe
[edit]Tim Walz’s walkout song has changed to “Small Town” by John Mellencamp, instead of “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen - https://x.com/tim_walz/status/1822481653467332881?s=46&t=PkCzkHaqGZT0VzU974f-4g
David Plouffe should be added to the list of Key People as a Senior Advisor - https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/02/plouffe-joins-harris-campaign-as-senior-adviser-00172478 Thenoheart (talk) 20:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've added Plouffe as senior advisor in the infobox, though the Tim Walz info needs a better source. David O. Johnson (talk) 14:17, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Minimum wage
[edit]I started a minimum wage section. Here is what I started with:
Harris supports raising the federal minimum wage.[1]
References

- Unless this section is expanded from one sentence, I do not think that minimum wage warrants its own section distinct from the economy section. PrinceTortoise (talk) 07:15, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
I added some more info:
Harris supports raising the federal minimum wage. Harris has not given a number for a federal minimum wage she supports, though she has praised states that have raised the rate to at least $15 per hour.[1][2]

Change:

Partly done: I've added all of the names, except for Kristen Orthman, who I can't find in your linked article. Do you have a different source supporting their participation in the campaign? (mention: Baseballman1876) — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 12:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- I did a quick search and found that she is at least part of the campaign. NBC says she is in "a planning role that will coordinate across several departments" and Politico says she is "to serve as senior adviser for strategic planning." --Super Goku V (talk) 04:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, those are the two articles I saw as well. She is an expert in press/communications so it’s pretty likely that’s what she will be doing with “strategic planning.” Baseballman1876 (talk) 03:31, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
She is an expert in press/communications so it’s pretty likely that’s what she will be doing...
But do we have a confirmation from a source that it is what she is doing? Otherwise, we can only verify that she is with the campaign. --Super Goku V (talk) 04:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Endorsements
[edit]I suggest adding:
Many current and former Republicans have endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket, including current and former elected politicians and members of the first Trump administration. Most explain their support for Harris based on their belief that Harris and Walz can be trusted both to act in the interest of the country, rather than to further their own narrow self-interests, as well as to protect democracy at home and abroad. In contrast, these Republicans generally explain their opposition in terms of his chaotic temperament, overwhelming focus on himself, abandonment of conservative and democratic values, lack of respect for members of the military, repeated praise for leaders of authoritarian governments and denigration of leaders of democracies (including longtime NATO allies), as well as their concerns about Donald Trump's authoritarian tendencies and his repeated emphasis on personal loyalty to him, rather than to the country and its constitution. At the Democratic National Convention, former Republican Congressman, Adam Kinzinger explained that under Donald Trump "The Republican Party is no longer conservative. It has switched its allegiance. From the principles that gave it purpose, to a man whose only purpose is himself."

Apostrophes: Harris' vs Harris's
[edit]It looks like this page is about 50-50 on each of these. I think most news sites are using Harris'. The wp:apostrophes seems to indicate either would be ok, but I think sticking with one or the other would be better. Seananony (talk) 18:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
