The formation of the Harris/Walz ticket has touched off an intense national debate over... punctuation.
Specifically, the divisions are about how to use apostrophes when writing about the candidates in the possessive. Is Walz Harris' running mate? Or Harris's running mate? Are we talking about Walz' record as governor? Or Walz's?
📰 AP style, which Axios follows, is Harris' and Walz's. The NYT, Washington Post and WSJ, on the other hand, do Harris's and Walz's.
"The lower the stakes, the bigger the fight," Ron Woloshun, a creative director who leapt into the debate on social media, told AP.
