Can you maybe find better images? There are currently none of him during the campaign.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any images on Wikimedia Commons that were of Harkin during the campaign.
[1] This source describes his stance toward foreign policy as isolationist, while this one contests that claim. Both might be worth a mention. On a similar note, this source (admittedly from a bit before the campaign, but still relevant) states that he "proudly accepted the label of 'protectionist'".
Added references and edited article to include additional information.
Source 9 mentions that crime was one of the issues he wanted his party to work on. If you can find more on this, consider including it.
Edited article to make reference to crime.
While the two journalists stated that his possible candidacy was "a long shot", he would most likely win that year's Iowa caucuses as a favorite son. I assume they stated both parts? It's worded confusingly.
Going into January 1992, Harkin's fundraising had begun to slow down, and he was polling in the single digits in opinion polls held in New Hampshire. On the other hand, Clinton had continued to grow in popularity and fundraising. Connecting these as "[...] he was polling in the single digits in opinion polls held in New Hampshire, while Clinton had continued to grow in popularity and fundraising" might read better.
