A 2019 GovTrack score that labeled Vice President Kamala Harris as the “most liberal senator” has been recently removed.
As reported by Breitbart News, GovTrack had released a list of 100 senators in 2019, placing Harris in the #100 spot, identifying her as the most liberal senator.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was ranked #99, just behind Harris.
This list has since been deleted, and attempting to access the page now results in a “page not found” message.
GovTrack defines its mission as publishing “the status of federal legislation” and providing “information” on elected representatives or senators, including voting records and original research on legislation.
“We’re one of the oldest government transparency websites in the world,” the website states.
In a 2020 interview with CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell, Harris was asked about being “considered the most liberal United States senator.”
“Somebody said that, and it was actually Mike Pence on the debate stage,” Harris responded.
O’Donnell then informed her that the “nonpartisan” GovTrack had rated her as the most liberal senator.
“You supported the Green New Deal, you supported Medicare for all,” O’Donnell noted.
In another recent development, Axios published an article claiming that Harris never held the title “border czar,” a term used by lawmakers and media outlets. The outlet updated the article, adding an editor’s note acknowledging the error in labeling Harris a “border czar” in 2021.
This follows President Joe Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the presidential race and endorsing Harris as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Harris has received endorsements from Democrats including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
