Formerly a Senior Writer and Analyst at FiveThirtyEight, the polling platform founded by fellow Leigh Bureau speaker Nate Silver, Enten is known for his high-energy style and gift for telling stories through numbers.

Namely, a long-term plan for the federal budget and pro-growth spending.    **[EDWARD LUCE](https://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/eluce)** In his recent *Financial Times* column, '[Kamala Harris's happy blue-collar warrior](https://www.ft.com/content/edab7b3e-40ca-4577-8ed5-0a3991cb114c),' US National Editor Edward Luce discusses Tim Walz's appeal, and how his strengths and weaknesses measure up against those of his Republican counterpart.     [RANA FOROOHAR](https://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/rforoohar) In her recent *Financial Times* column, '[Kamala Harris must reaffirm her commitment to Bidenomics](https://www.ft.com/content/0dde6bb6-e954-43a7-9647-1a6c6ca246ef),' Rana Foroohar asserts that 'if the Democrats want to win in November, they can’t afford to let the Republicans paint Harris — as they did Hillary Clinton in 2016 — as belonging to a coastal elite beholden to big money interests rather than working people in states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, which is where the election is likely to be won or lost.'   [PAMELA PAUL](https://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/ppaul) In her column this morning, '[Harris Might Become the First Female President, but Keep the Focus Where It Belongs](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/opinion/kamala-harris-election-women.html),' bestselling author and *New York Time*s columnist Pamela Paul expresses scepticism in the role identity plays for Harris's approval among voters. 'Rather than focusing on what Harris means to women, South Asian Americans, or Black people,' she writes, 'we should focus on what she might mean to all Americans.'    **[NATE SILVER](https://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/msandel)** Nate Silver's latest model on the [Silver Bulletin 2024 presidential election forecast](https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model) shows that adding Tim Walz to the ticket increases Harris' chance of winning Minnesota from 86% to 90%. His national poll shows Harris has gained a 2% advantage since last week, edging out Trump at 45.8% to his 43.7%.  ### Leave a Comment ## Related Articles [Election](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/tag/election) [Politics](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/tag/politics) ### [Introducing: 2024 US Presidential Election Newsletter from Leigh Bureau](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/introducing-leigh-bureaus-2024-us-presidential-election-newsletter) ### A weekly showcase of the best election analysis and commentary, from Leigh Bureau speakers. ![Leigh Bureau](https://blog.leighbureau.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Instagram%20Logo.png?width=45&name=Instagram%20Logo.png) [Leigh Bureau](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/author/leigh-bureau) [Read More](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/introducing-leigh-bureaus-2024-us-presidential-election-newsletter) [Election](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/tag/election) [Politics](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/tag/politics) ### [AI, redbaiting, and 'the river': The best of this week's election analysis](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/ai-redbaiting-and-the-river-the-best-of-this-weeks-election-analysis)   [**NATE SILVER**](https://www.leighbureau.com/speakers/nsilver) On The Ezra Klein Show, Nate Silver opens up about his disenchantment with the 'political establishment' and how the ID politics of the Left have no place... ![Leigh Bureau](https://blog.leighbureau.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Instagram%20Logo.png?width=45&name=Instagram%20Logo.png) [Leigh Bureau](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/author/leigh-bureau) [Read More](https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/ai-redbaiting-and-the-river-the-best-of-this-weeks-election-analysis) #### About - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### Services - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### News - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three Follow us on Facebook Follow us on LinkedIn Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Leigh Bureau", "url" : "https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/author/leigh-bureau" }, "dateModified" : "2024-08-08T18:00:00.311Z", "datePublished" : "2024-08-08T18:00:00.000Z", "headline" : "The Harris-Walz Ticket: Day 2", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.leighbureau.com/2024-election-experts-to-keep-you-informed/the-harris-walz-ticket-day-2", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.leighbureau.com/hubfs/Leigh%20Bureau%20Logo_Universal.png" }, "name" : "Leigh Bureau" } } ```
