Grammar notes:
Apparently people are very concerned about writing the possessive form of "Harris" and "Walz", but let me tell you that it really doesn't matter if Harris' name uses with the extra "'s" or not. It's pretty clear either way. You can write Harris's name however you want. Harris's's VP on the other hand doesn't actually end with an "s" so Walz's name technically needs the "'s", but Walz's just the running mate so Walz' name is less important while Harris'z name is more so.
