According to a Fox News report, GovTrack, an organization that tracks congressional voting records, has removed a webpage from 2019 that listed Kamala Harris as the “most liberal” Senator.
GovTrack joins the likes of Axios, USA Today, TIME Magazine, and other media outlets and informational gatekeepers in rewriting Kamala Harris’ far-left voting record and policy positions.
From Fox News:
The self-described “government transparency website” scored Harris as the “most liberal compared to all senators” in 2019, outranking Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren at the time.
But the web page with the ranking, which was widely covered in news reports during the 2020 election, was recently deactivated. The link now displays a “Page Not Found” message. The Internet Archive shows the page was deleted sometime between July 10 and July 23, with some on X claiming the page was still up on July 22.
President Biden announced his decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee on July 21. Harris announced in the early hours of July 23 that she had secured enough delegates to lock up the nomination at the DNC next month.
When reached by Fox News Digital, GovTrack founder Joshua Tauberer said the page was removed because the company adopted a policy “several years ago” to end its single-year ratings of lawmakers to only do ratings based on Congressional sessions, which are two years.
“We determined that the limited data available in a single year was not sufficient to create a reliable portrait of the activity of legislators, particularly given the ebbs and flows of the legislative calendar, and therefore did not serve as a useful tool to our users and the American public,” Tauberer said. “We subsequently took down the previously-published single-calendar-year statistics for the same reason.”
X owner Elon Musk reacted to the story on his platform, saying “Literally as far left as it is possible to go! They’re trying so hard to erase the Internet lmao.”

Conservative commentator Bad Kitty Unleashed shared a screenshot of what Harris’ GovTrack page looked like.
For the community notes folks saying it was always gone, first they edited Kamala’s 2019 page YESTERDAY. And removed the most liberal part etc. Then when they decided it was a bad look, they deleted it entirely YESTERDAY.
